What are the books from Ancient Rome that the US based many of its laws on called?
Laws from ancient Rome have come to western countries indirectly - principally through the Eastern Empire centred on Byzantium (aka the Byzantine Empire) after Rome's western empire obliteration. They were also channelled therough English law. Sources of Roman law known to us are principally: Gaius Institutes Justinian Digest Justinian Code Ulpius Institutes Paulus Opinions Not dissimilar from today, law evolved from the Twelve Tables by custom and judicial precedent. And eminent jurists were invited by the Emperor to give opinions on various issues, and often quoted precedents/their predecessors in the process. The real codification Corpus Juris Civilis done for Justinian in 438 CE is extant and contains the above plus a couple of thousand other contributors.
