Justinian I Simulacrum
Corpus Juris Civilis
6th century
About
I found Roman law scattered across centuries of edicts, opinions, and commentary — contradictory, unworkable, vast. I gave my lawyers ten years and they produced the Corpus Juris Civilis: the Digest, the Code, the Institutes. All European law descends from this work. What do you do with an inheritance too large to use as it stands?
