  11. Byzantine Empire

  12. Justinian’s Code • Greek Language – Distinctive Culture • Created a uniform law code from convoluted / contradictory laws of the Romans • The Code – 5,000 Roman Laws • The Digest: Opinions of legal thinkers about law • The Institutes: textbook to law students • The Novella – The New Laws passed after 534 • Marriage, slavery, property, inheritance, women’s rights, and criminal justice • Lasted 900 years!

  13. New Religion • Religion as well as law served imperial centralization. In 380, Christianity had been proclaimed the official religion of the eastern empire. Now all other religions were considered “demented and insane.”

  14. Book I, Of Persons • VIII. Slaves • 1. Slaves are in the power of masters, a power derived from the law of nations: for among all nations it may be remarked that masters have the power of life and death over their slaves, and that everything acquired by the slave is acquired for the master.

  15. Book II, Of Things • I. Division of Things • 1. By the law of nature these things are common to mankind: the air, running water, the • sea, and consequently the shores of the sea. No one, therefore, is forbidden to approach the seashore, provided that he respects habitats, monuments, and buildings which are not, like the sea, subject only to the law of nations. … • 5. The public use of the seashore is part of the law of nations, as is that of the sea itself; and, therefore, any person is at liberty to place on it a cottage, to which he may retreat, or to dry his nets there, and haul them from the sea; for the shores may be said to be the property of no man. … • 28. If the wheat of Titius is mixed with yours, when this takes place by mutual consent, the mixed heap belongs to you in common because … each grain, which before was the property of one or other of you, has by your mutual consent been made your common property; but, if the intermixture were accidental, or made by Titius without your consent, the mixed wheat does not then belong to you both in common… If either of you keep the whole quantity of mixed wheat, the other has a real actio [claim or suit] for the amount of wheat belonging to him, but it is in the province of the judge to estimate the quality of the wheat belonging to each.
