Best Answer

In the earlier days Roman law was based on ancestral customs (mos maiorum). When Rome came to be ruled by emperors, laws became imperial edicts; that is, they were laws issued by the emperors. The Romans also had the law of nations, which was a sort of international law. This law was based on the belief that the law came from the human mind, irrespective of ethnicity.
