In 454 BC the senate agreed to send a three-envoys to study the law of Athens and other Greek city- states. The envoys returned in 452 BC. In 451 BC it was agreed to appoint a suspend the constitution and the magistratures (offices of state) and to appoint a ten-man commission (decemvirate or decemviri in Latin) to govern Rome with consular powers for one year and to draft a body of laws. The commission was called deciemviri legibus scribundis (ten men to write the law). All the magistrates (officers of state) resigned. The decemviri produced ten bronze tablets of laws. It was felt that two more tablets were needed to have a complete body of law. A second decemvirate was instituted for this. The final product is called the Law of the Twelve Tables.
