Roman History And Mythology: Roman history and mythology Law. To understand why continental European countries share a common legal heritage in the civil law, and to grasp the meaning of that heritage, one must consider the history of the civil law, with its roots in Roman history and mythology law.
Over its long history, Roman history and mythology law was brought to a high level of juristic development. The Roman history and mythologys, with their genius for institution and their practical sense, achieved excellent solutions for practical problems and combined these solutions into a remarkable body of law. This law, reflecting the relatively high development of Roman history and mythology political, economic, and social life, met the requirements of a culturally and economically advanced society. However, the Roman juristic tradition and the corpus of Roman history and mythology law did not pass immediately and full blown to the societies of western Europe.
History.-Originally an Umbrian town, Ravenna became a Roman history and mythology municipium after the defeat of the Boii in 191 B.C., and later a flourishing colony. Emperor Augustus (63 B.C.-14 A.D.) built the port of Classis, connected to the city by the Via Caesarea, which became the station of the Roman history and mythology fleet of the northern Adriatic. Ravenna's history was influenced by its strategic position on the road to Rome from the northeast. Its most brilliant period started in 402 A.D. when Emperor Honorius (384-423) selected it as the capital of the Western Roman history and mythology Empire. After the fall of the empire in 476, Odoacer, the Gothic king, ruled from here over Italy until 493, as did his successor Theodoric until 526.
The most important single event for the subsequent history of Roman history and mythology law in western Europe-the event that made it possible for the Roman history and mythology law to have a strong and pervasive effect upon the development of the modern civil law-occurred, oddly, after the fall of the Western Roman history and mythology Empire. The empire continued in the East with its seat in Constantinople, and it was there, in 528, that Emperor Justinian decreed the great compilation, systematization, and consolidation of Roman history and mythology law later known as the Corpus Juris Civilis.
