The were brought into a single book, revised and rationalised by emperor Theodius in 534, which was called Body of Civil Law. This legal system elapsed with the fall of the Roman Empire in the east, which historians have dubbed Byzantine Empire.
The key concepts of Roman civil law have provided the basis or an inspiration for the law of many modern countries, including the US. These are: citizenship status and citizenship rights, equality under the law, the right to have a proper trial and to defend oneself, the right to appeal, that the burden of proof rests on the accuser and not on the accused, that it is the exact form of actions and not intentions or words which is punishable, that a law deemed unreasonable or unfair can be repealed, and that no citizen should be tortured.
