Codex TheodosianusDescription
Late Roman Law Codes and the City of Rome are a collection of law texts relating to the city of Rome, extracted from C. Pharr; "The Theodosian Code and Novels and the Sirmondian Constitutions", New York, 1952. Supported by J. Harries & I. Wood (Editor); "The Theodosian Code: studies in the imperial law of late antiquity, London, 1993. The Codex Theodosianus was a collection of extracts of imperial legislative acts made by emperors from Constantine I to Theodosius II (AD 312-435) published in AD 438.Context
Theodosius II (born April 10, AD 401, Constantinople [now Istanbul, Tur.]—died July 28, AD 450) was the Eastern Roman emperor from AD 408 to 450. Theodosius’ name is associated with three important projects. The first, erection of an impregnable wall around Constantinople (AD 413), was actually the work of Anthemius. The emperor did, however, have a hand in founding the University of Constantinople in AD 425 and in supervising compilation of the Theodosian Code (published AD 438), which codified the laws issued after AD 312. Theodosius died from injuries suffered during a hunting accident. His daughter Licinia Eudoxia married the Western Roman emperor Valentinian III (reigned AD 425–455).Category
