The notion and understanding of law penetrated society in Ancient
Rome to a degree unparalleled in modern times. The poet Juvenal,
for instance, described the virtuous man as a good soldier,
faithful guardian, incorruptible judge and honest witness. This
book is concerned with four central questions: Who made the law?
Where did a Roman go to discover what the law was? How has the law
survived to be known to us today? And what procedures were there
for putting the law into effect? In this volume the origins of law
and their relative weight are described in the light of developing
Roman history. This is a text that may appeal to a wide range of
readers: the law student for the study of the substantive law, and
the student of history for a guide to what Roman law means as well
as its value for the understanding and interpretation of Roman
history.
