Romano-Germanic law, also known as civil law, is a legal system that originated in Europe, primarily based on Roman law and further developed by Germanic customs and legal practices. It emphasizes written statutes and codes, such as the Napoleonic Code and the German Civil Code, as primary sources of law. This legal tradition contrasts with common law systems, which rely more on judicial precedents. Romano-Germanic law is prevalent in many countries across Europe, Latin America, and parts of Asia and Africa.
Romano-Germanic Museum was created in 1946.
