The Code of Justinian

Por: Anavitarte, E. J.*

The Code of Justinian or Codex Iustinianus is a systematic compilation of legislation applicable in the Eastern Roman Empire during the time of Emperor Justinian I (4th century), which was officially published for judicial usage.

This compilation is one of the documents that comprise the Corpus Juris Civilis, and the most relevant one for their practical application of law, since its content constituted a true criterion for ruling. Both justinien Code and the later Novel Constitutions are the judicial aspect of the Corpus.

The historical importance of this Code, lies in the fact that it provided the basis of the later Byzantine law, connecting the classical Roman world with the Middle Ages, whereby (a) it kept the Roman influence alive, especially through its influence on the Italian peninsula, and (b) it allowed its historical study.

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.
