The most ancient kind of peculium was the peculium profectitium of the Roman law, which signified that portion of the property acquired by a son or slave which the father or master allowed him, to be managed as he saw fit. In modern civil law there are other kinds of peculium, viz., pecalinm castrense, which includes all movables given to a son by relatives and friends on his going on a campaign, all the presents of comrades, and his military pay and the things bought with it; peculium quasi castrense, which includes all acquired by a son by performing the duties of a public or spiritual office or of an advocate, and also gifts from the reigning prince; peculium adventitium, which includes the property of son's mother and relatives on that side of the house, and all which comes to him on a second marriage of his parents, and, in general, all his acquisitions which do not come from his father's property, and do not come under castrense or quasi casfrense peculium. The peculium, profectitium remains the property of the father. , The peculium castreiise and quasi castrense are entirely the property of the son. The peculium adventitium belongs to the son, but he cannot alien it nor dispose of it by will; nor can the father, unless under peculiar circumstances, alien it without consent of son. Mackeld. Civ. Law, §§557-559; Vicat; Inst. 2. 9. 1; Dig. 15. 1. 5. 3; Poth. ad Pand. lib. 50, tit. 17, c. 2, art. 3.
