Before laws were made there was no property. Take away laws and property ceases." before laws were written and enforced, property had no relevance. Possession was all that mattered. There are many classifications of property, the most common being between real property or immoveable property (real estate such as land or buildings) and "chattel", or "moveable" (things which are not attached to the land such as a bicycle, a car or a hammer) and between public (property belonging to everybody or to the state) and private property.

Italian banca rotta, a broken bench: a money-changer's bench was broken up, on his failing in business. A trader who secretes himself, or does certain other acts tending to defraud his creditors.
