The treasure is one of the most debated legal institutions in the Roman doctrine. Before Hadrian, the sources were scarce and, to a certain extent, questioned by the majority ofscholars, which explains why it is little known. Therefore, the present study aims to expose the treasure’s legal regime in the first century A.D. To achieve this objective, the study considers the existing sources at the date that concerns this research and will complement them with the famous parable of the hidden treasure cited in the Christian Greek Scriptures, specifically in the Gospel according to Matthew chapter thirteen and verse forty-four. The interest of the article lies in the fact that it is a source that, although not juridical, offers light about the treasure before Hadrian.
