Vandalic Kingdom (The Last Roman) Civil Tier 11

Domain of Law

No-one can be heard who invokes his own guilt.

The role of law and the legal profession gained increasing traction as the Roman Empire developed, establishing a position of importance next to rhetoric in late antiquity. As Imperial bureaucracy intensified, the profession of law became integral in cutting through the obfuscation before the publication of tomes like the Codex Theodosianus. The Codex itself represented a monumental improvement in Imperial legal science, as it stimulated a proliferation of legal minds under Imperial administration. At first, legal study was folded into aspects of general Roman bureaucracy, with little need for formal training. However, eventually, legal tuition was available in Rome, Ravenna and Constantinople, alongside the school of law that had existed in Berytus for quite some time. Formal legal training gained more importance as late antiquity progressed, and as the roles within the Empire became more specialised. The pretentious and morally pontificating language of the Codex Theodosianus is an example of the kind of training the scholars received, both in law and in rhetoric, painting an image of Imperial majesty and, fittingly, obscurity.
