jan 1, 103 BC - Roman Natural Law
Description:
Natural law was an important part of the Ancient Roman legal system and the precursor to modern human rights. It was first proposed by Cicero, a philosopher and jurist who combined his two areas of expertise into the concept of natural, universal law. This universal law applied to everyone, whether they were citizens of the Roman Empire or not, and took precedence over other forms of law.
