Roman Jurists (Late Antique and Byzantine)

Roman Jurists (Late Antique and Byzantine) gathers the jurists of the later Roman Empire and its Byzantine, Eastern Roman, continuation, above all Tribonian and the legal commission the Emperor Justinian I charged with compiling the Corpus Juris Civilis in the sixth century CE, the codification that preserved and systematized the classical Roman jurists' own scattered opinions, grouped elsewhere in this subcategory, for the whole later history of civil law. Their work is the direct bridge between the classical Roman jurists and the medieval glossators and commentators who revived Roman law study centuries later, grouped in this atlas's own separate Civil Law Scholars and Codifiers subcategory.
