On entering law school, the beginning student will often be presented with a timetable that includes the study of Roman law. For many others, Roman law will be an optional subject in their degree programme. It would not be unreasonable for such a student to be surprised by this, and to ask why the law of ancient Rome should be thought relevant to the study of twenty- first-century law. One answer to this question lies in the general historical importance of Rome in European history. The dominant position of Rome and its empire for so many centuries certainly justifies the attention of anyone who considers history important. The law of Rome, as perhaps the most out­standing product of that civilisation, deserves a special place in any account of the history of Rome. The development of a sophisticated system of law was much more advanced among the Romans than anywhere else in the ancient world. The beginner may well be surprised by how like modern legal works the Roman texts look. For this reason, even in countries where the direct influence of Roman law has been limited the study of Roman law is seen as valuable in developing legal thinking in students.
