Ecloga

The Ecloga is a Byzantine law code compiled around 726 CE under Emperor Leo III. It organized and simplified earlier Roman laws to better suit the Byzantine Empire's needs, especially Christian principles. Unlike complex legal collections of the time, it aimed for clarity and practicality, influencing Eastern Roman legal traditions. Overall, the Ecloga served as a revised, more accessible legal manual, reflecting shifting societal values and emphasizing justice, morality, and Christian ethics within Byzantine governance.
