Preferred term

Roman law  

Definition(s)

  • The legal history of the Roman Empire is commonly divided into the following five periods: archaic period (753–250 BCE), preclassical period (250–27 BCE), classical period (27 BCE-284 CE), postclassical period (284–527 CE) and Justinianic period (527–565 CE). These periodizations cut across conventional historical classifications of Roman history, such as republic and empire, but are nonetheless useful in describing changes to Roman law.
