Abstract:
In the present article, the authors present the evolution of the Nomos Rhodion Nauticos and how it was incorporated in the formation and development of the Maritime Law. For this end, there is reference to various codes dating back to different times, as well as to provisions of theirs concerning: piracy, marine insurance, the loading of cargo, the unloading of cargo, the average or damage/loss, the maritime business relations, etc., which lead us to the conclusion that the Nomos Rhodion Nauticos has been historically the first written document used widely.
