The law was the same in the whole Roman Empire.Easternand Western Roman Empire are terms which have beencoinedby historians. The Romans only had one term: Roman Empire.

Even when emperor Justinian I commissioned the codification of Roman civil law after the fall of the western part, this was acompendiumofeditedextracts of imperialenactmentsgoing back 400 years, to the days ofemperorHadrianin the first century AD.

Which aspect of the Roman Empire continued into the Byzantine Empire?

One aspect of the "old Roman Empire" that was carried on to the new eastern Roman empire, which became the Byzantine Empire was the standard of written laws. This was an important feature of the old Roman republic and later when the republic was a shell of its former self. Generally referred to as the Roman Empire, there were still written laws.The governing office of Emperor also was carried on.


What laws did Justinian make?

Well considering that he was the Byzantine emperor (the eastern Roman Empire was called the Byzantine Empire and did not fall when the western one did), I'd say many. He actually was more like Roman emperors then his Byzantine predecessors and attempted to restore the old borders of the empire.


Who was justanian and what was his code?

Justinian became the emperor of the old eastern part of the Roman empire in 527 AD CE. At this time historians refer to his rule as emperor of the Byzantine Empire. Perhaps his most notable contribution to his empire was the revision of old Roman laws that were antiquated and out of date with the times. This revision of the laws was called the Justinian Code. The Code did away with contradictory laws and thus straightened the fabric of the empire by creating a workable & fair legal system.
