Abstract

The text of the Law of Twelve Tables was passed in 451 and 450 BC. It was displayed in the Forum, but the original bronze plates were not preserved through the Roman history. Based on the number of quotes made by many authors, their full content can be established with great certainty. Concerning claims being made about their authenticity, it should be taken into consideration that jurists had to know them by heart and later lawyers built their legal authority on those quotes. The Law of Twelve Tables represents a basis of ius civile. The Romans had a great respect for the Law of Twelve Tables through the history and they stated that those regulations could not be abolished by any law, so they practically adapted legislation to new social relations while respecting the traditions connected to the Law of Twelve Tables.
