Frankish Kingdom (The Last Roman) Civil Tier 14

Codification of Laws

The law, as laid down, governs the Empire.

In AD429, Theodosius II and his co-Emperor, Valentinian III, enacted a commission to unify classical Roman law with their more modern Imperial legislature. The 'Codex Theodosianus', as it was known, took 22 experts nine years to pull together across sixteen volumes, and represented the majority of Rome's legal framework, codified for first time since the foundation of the 'Twelve Tables'. It was not without problems, however. The Codex was hard to properly research, with laws changing even as they were being written. Delays in acquiring information from Rome, Ravenna and private collections made editing it a frustrating process. Nevertheless, the Codex represented a major breakthrough in the documentation of Roman legal processes. It also increased state authority on religious matters, expanding on Christianity's decriminalisation under Constantine and solidly positioning it as Rome's official state religion; one that was intrinsically linked to the role of Emperor.
