According to Roman tradition, the Law of the Twelve Tables (Latin: Leges Duodecim Tabularum or Duodecim Tabulae) was the legislation that stood at the foundation of Roman law. The Tables consolidated earlier traditions into an enduring set of laws.

The purpose of the Laws of Twelve Tables were so that the plebeians (the common people) would stop rioting and feel more equal to the patricians(the wealthy people).
