Best Answer

Roman law had a significant impact on modern legal systems throughout the world because:

  1. The Roman Empire covered much of Europe and North Africa
  2. After the Roman Emipre fell in those regions, Roman law remained the basis of local laws. During the Rennaisance, even those parts of Europe that where not originally influenced by the Roman Empire experienced some influence from teh rediscoverly of Roman civilization and philosophy.
  3. The European empires that developed after 1400 AD took their legal systems, influenced by Roman law, to much of the rest of the world.
  4. When the colonial holdings of the European empires became independent, the laws of the previous imperial governments formed the basis for the laws of the newly independent nations.
