The Roman code of laws developed through a combination of customary practices and formal legislation, evolving over centuries. Initially, the Twelve Tables, established around 450 BCE, codified existing customs and served as the foundation for Roman law. As the Republic and later the Empire expanded, legal scholars and magistrates contributed to the development of laws, adapting them to new circumstances. This process continued until the compilation of the Corpus Juris Civilis under Emperor Justinian in the 6th century, which systematized and preserved Roman legal thought for future generations.
