Roman law in its classical and post-classical compilations, and the codes the successor kingdoms built from it after the Western Empire's fall. Belongs here: the Corpus Juris Civilis, the Codex Theodosianus, and the early medieval Germanic codes drafted under direct Roman legal influence, the Lex Salica and the Visigothic Code. Does not belong here: a code from a tradition outside the Roman legal family even where it is roughly contemporary, classified by its own tradition instead.
