Synopsis

This book explores the evolution of law and constitution within the Roman Empire from its humble beginnings to the formation of its vast empire and extensive legal code. Covering key reforms and legislation from the earliest times to the late empire, this text sheds light on how the Romans went from a simple agricultural society to become the masters of the Mediterranean. The author uses historical analysis of key legal texts to trace the development of laws critical to the empire's formation, and the establishment of a legal framework that would go on to influence many modern legal systems. An important resource for legal scholars and anyone interested in Roman society and history.
