In The Roman Law Tradition an international team of distinguished
legal scholars explores the various ways in which Roman law has
affected and continues to affect patterns of legal decision-making
throughout the world. Roman Law began as the local law of a small
Italian city. It grew to dominate the legal relationships of the
Mediterranean basin for the first five hundred years of our era.
The revival of its study in the medieval universities led to its
influencing the subsequent development of the legal system of
western Europe and thereafter those parts of the rest of the World
colonized from Europe. Roman legal ideas penetrated procedure as
well as the substance of law and assisted the process of
harmonization and codification of local customary laws. Techniques
of legal reasoning which first emerge in Rome continue in daily
use. Roman law was also of immense significance in the emergence of
modern political thought.
