Laws under the Roman Republic actually came from several sources:

1. Statutes (which were the supreme law) were proposed by the magistrates and approved by the citizens in an assembly. These laws were called either "leges" or "plebescita," depending on how the assembly was organized.

2. The magistrates (specifically, the praetors, who often sat as judges) issued binding edicts, which over time developed into a sort of common law governing many private and commercial transactions.

3. The Senate issued decrees ("senatus consulta") that were, in theory, merely advice to the magistrates, but in practice were generally given binding force.

Roman law was also greatly influenced by religious rules, that blended into traditional customs ("mos"). These were not exactly binding laws, but were more like generally understood ground rules for political activities.
