About

The concept of law that we take for granted today was first created in Rome. Shortly after becoming emperor in AD 527, Justinian appointed a commission to survey and codify the last four centuries’ relevant legal practices. The product, The Digest of Roman Law: Theft, Rapine, Damage and Insult, first published in 533, is among the highest human mental and spiritual achievements. Roman law permeates European history. Aside from being a fascinating study of law the book offers a remarkably vivid portrait of ordinary Roman life because the discussed cases concern daily events of the time. 192 pages.
