In Roman law, a type of contract or agreement involving hiring, leasing, or letting out of services, goods, or property.
From Latin 'conductio,' derived from 'conducere' (to lead, hire, conduct). The term refers to a specific category of contracts in the Roman legal system that regulated commercial arrangements.
Roman 'conductio' is the ancestor of modern rental and service contracts—when a Roman hired someone or leased land, they entered into this precise legal relationship that structured society's economic interactions for centuries.
