Theodosian Code

The Theodosian Code is a comprehensive collection of Roman laws compiled in 438 AD under Emperor Theodosius II. It organized and clarified existing laws, edicts, and legal principles of the late Roman Empire to promote consistency in governance and justice. The code served as an official legal reference for administrators and judges, covering topics like administration, religion, and civil rights, and helped preserve Roman legal traditions for future generations. It remains an important source for understanding Roman law and its influence on later legal systems.
