The Law of the Twelve Tablets are not significant to us today unless you are a historian. They were ancient Rome's first set of published laws. They were archaic laws which were superseded by subsequent legalisation even in the Roman days. They offer glimpses of the society and legal arrangements of the early phases of Roman history to historians. The laws were lost and only fragments have survived.
