Answer: Justinian.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are several hypotheses in the justification of the reasons that led Justinian, the Byzantine emperor, to make his famous compilations, which gave rise to the Corpus Iuris Civilis. The fact is that, when he took power in 527, he was faced with factors that led him to gather in one body all the dispersed normalization accumulated over the last centuries. The compilation of law was necessary, since the consultation of the texts of the constitutions was laborious and complex, often even outdated and out of date due to the influence of Christianity and the habits of other cultures integrated into the empire.
