were designated as res mancipi all other res were res nec mancipi which could be transferred by traditio or delivery of possession provided the res in question was capable of physical
delivery After the time of gaius mancipatio gradually lost its importance and in the time of justinian mancipatio was entirely superseded by traditio and the division into
res mancipi and res nec mancipi was accordingly obsolete

be taken away and stolen it is of greater value and importance than the movable property it takes longer time to acquire ownership in immovale property by possession without title
Res communes common are things common to all and may be enjoyed by all the world but not capable of appropriation by any body such as air running water the sea and the sea-shore
