∙ 11y agoRoman law is the legal system of ancient Rome, and the legal developments which occurred before the 7th century AD - when the Roman-Byzantine state adopted Greek as the language of government. The development of Roman law comprises more than a thousand years of jurisprudence - from the Twelve Tables (c. 439 BC) to the Corpus Juris Civilis (AD 529) ordered by Emperor Justinian I
