Roman law is the legal system of ancient Rome, spanning more than a thousand years of legal development from the Twelve Tables of around 449 BC to the Corpus Juris Civilis completed in AD 529 under the Eastern Roman emperor Justinian I. Its influence outlasted ancient Rome itself: Roman law shaped the jurisprudence of Western Europe into the eighteenth century, remained in practice in the Holy Roman Empire until 1806, and provided the foundation for legal systems across continental Europe and in former European colonies, including in Latin America and Ethiopia. English and Anglo-American common law absorbed Roman legal influence as well, chiefly through Latin legal terminology, and Eastern Europe drew on the Corpus Juris Civilis, with medieval Romania showing a blend of Roman and indigenous legal traditions. After the fall of the Western Roman Empire, Roman law continued in the Byzantine Empire, where legal proceedings shifted to Greek from the seventh century onward even as Byzantine law continued to shape legal systems in Eastern Europe.
