Another View: Either The Caesers decreed a law or the Roman Senate passed them.
code of hammurabi. (i think) it was a question in my civics exam, and this is what i out. Code of Hammurabi is not correct. The code of Hammurabi was the first written set of laws ever, not the laws that simplified roman law. That would be Justinian Law.
The first set of written Roman laws was called the Twelve Tables. It was published in approximately 450 BC BCE.
Assemblies do not have written codes of laws. Laws are matters for magistrates and courts, not assemblies. Codes of law are things such as civil law, criminal law, and constitutional law. What assemblies have are procedures regarding debating, voting and other business they might carry out. Also note that Rome had three assemblies: the assembly of the soldiers, the assembly of the tribes, and the plebeian councils.
Roman Emperors issued edicts that were commands equivalent to laws.
As Rome began to control other cities early in its history and incorporate foreigners, such as other Latins and Etruscans, into their regional hegemony, they developed a set of laws to apply to these newly subjugated people. Since they were not Roman citizens, Roman laws could not exactly apply to them. In their singular penchant for improvisation, the Romans developed a separate set of laws in the early fifth century to deal with crimes and civil complaints involving foreigners or the relation of foreigners to Romans. They called these new and separate laws, the Law of Nations.
