Abstract

It is now nearly two thousand years since the curtain fell upon the last act in the history of the Roman Republic. During these twenty centuries many other republics have flourished and passed away, while, in turn, new republics have arisen to take the place of the earlier ones; but no other fallen republic in the world during the whole course of history has attained to the same degree of importance, or has exerted the same influence on the history of the world, as did that of Rome. Any adequate discussion of Roman Law necessitates a clear conception of the meaning of law. Ruskin has written that if there were any one principle more widely confessed than any other by every utterance, or more sternly than any other imprinted on every atom of visible creation, that principle would not be liberty, but law.
