jan 1, 449 BC - founding of the Twelve Tables

Description:

The Laws of the Twelve Tables (Latin: lex duodecim tabularum) was the legislation that stood at the foundation of Roman law. Formally promulgated in 449 BC, the Tables consolidated earlier traditions into an enduring set of laws. It represented a shift in legislature where law was written instead of being a vague oral tradition interpreted by the priests for their interest.
