The first code of written and published laws in Rome is usually given the name of the Law of the Twelve Tables, even though the Romans used the term tablets, not tables. It was inscribed in bronze tablets in 450 BC.

∙ 7y agoRome's first written and published set of laws was the Law of the Twelve Tables. This was in the archaic (early) days of the city. Over the centuries it became redundant and was replaced by many new laws. New codes of laws were compiled. The Codex Gregorianus (Gregorian Code) was compiled around 291- 94 and collected laws issued by emperors from the 130s to 290s AD. The Codex Hermogenianus (Hermogenian Code) collected laws a issued during the period of the tetrarchy, mostly from the years 293-94. Finally the Copus Juris Civilis was the final and the most comprehensive
Roman law code. It collected 400 years of Roman law, scrapped obsolete laws, revised legislation and clarified obscure legal points.

Were the ancient Romans better served with a monarchy republic or imperial form of government?
It depends. The monarchy served the Romans well up to the last king, who seized power through a coup and was a tyrant. He as deposed in a rebellion and the Romans decided to establish a Republic to prevent the return of tyranny. The Republic served the Romans well for nearly 400 years, until it became dysfunctional and unable to cope with the acquisition of an empire and was torn apart by a series of civil wars. Rule by emperors functioned well to administer the empire for some 200 years. It served the Romans very badly during the period of military anarchy of the Crisis of the Third Century.
