THE 12 TABLES
The Twelve Tables were a set of laws inscribed on 12 bronze tablets created in ancient Rome in 451 and 450 BCE. This significant milestone in the development of Roman law provided a foundation for future legal systems.
Publicly displayed in the Roman Forum, these laws were accessible to all citizens. They encompassed a wide range of legal topics, including family law, property law, contract law, criminal law, and procedural law.
By codifying the laws and making them public, the Twelve Tables helped to reduce the power of the patrician class and provided greater legal protection for the plebeian class. They also served as a basis for the development of Roman civil law, which later influenced legal systems across Europe and beyond.
