Commerce Laws

The first law of commerce: if you're buying, I'm selling.

Contracts between two parties are far easier to enforce when supported by written legal documents. Before widespread legal codification, verbal agreement was the norm in Rome and it took time for written contracts to be accepted. Greek law was, by comparison, based on written contracts. As antiquity progressed, however, and Romans codified their legal framework in documents such as the Codex Theodosianus (an amalgamation of previous, less complete documents), legal institutions provided a framework of rules that decided how wealth could and should be distributed.
