Written laws were a milestone for ancient Rome. Few ancient civilizations had the extent and purpose of written laws as did the ancient Roman Republic and later when Roman government was for the most part dominated by an unelected emperor with no enforceable method of legal succession.
A Roman citizen had certain rights not granted to citizens of previous major civilizations. Law was used as a method to do its best to recognize that the common citizen could look to a definite, written and secular legal system. Over the long duration of Rome as a simple city state to a decaying vast empire, naturally new laws were created or modified. Some laws were abolished.
One major aspect of Roman laws was that certain official offices required an election by the citizens.
The beginnings of the Roman system of laws and government were Twelve Tables of basic laws administered by magistrates.
