Hammurabi's code of law was significant because it organized many laws.
Justinian I was the emperor who formulated the code. He did not actually write the laws, but he revised them and clarified them. Justinian did not revise the laws either. He commissioned legal exerts to collect centuries of Roman civil law and edit a compendium with a selections of these laws. This was called the Corpus Juris Civilis (Body of Civil Laws) and the name Justinian Code was given to it in the Renaissance. The codification of centuries of Roman laws means that the laws were brought together in a single book. In Latin codex meant book. Contadictory or redundant laws were scrapped and relevent ones were revisded when necessary.
Justinian became the emperor of the old eastern part of the Roman empire in 527 AD CE. At this time historians refer to his rule as emperor of the Byzantine Empire. Perhaps his most notable contribution to his empire was the revision of old Roman laws that were antiquated and out of date with the times. This revision of the laws was called the Justinian Code. The Code did away with contradictory laws and thus straightened the fabric of the empire by creating a workable & fair legal system.
