The Codex Justinianus, also known as the Code of Justinian, is one of the four parts of the Corpus Juris Civilis, the codification of Roman law ordered in the early sixth century AD by the Eastern Roman emperor Justinian I in Constantinople. Two of the other three units, the Digest and the Institutes, were compiled during Justinian's own reign. The fourth part, the Novellae Constitutiones, was compiled unofficially after his death and is now also counted as part of the Corpus Juris Civilis.
