The Twelve Tables
The Twelve Tables was the first written compilation of Law made by Romans on their own law system, it was made with the aim of publicly declare norms that, until that moment, were governed by unwritten customs and rites, around the year 450 BC.
This compilation marks a before and after in the Roman legal history, and it can be said that Roman law, as a new legal─secular─discipline, started since their enactment. Thus they were always for Romans the example of perfect law, both for their simplicity and for their conciseness in regulating the subjects it dealt with.
They were composed of twelve bronze tables, publicly hung in the forum, each of which contained norms and principles on a set of interrelated subjects; one about marriage, another about inheritance, and so on. Unfortunately, only records and some fragments that Roman jurists made of their content have come down to our days.
It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English.
