Answer:

Roman Law

Step-by-step explanation:

Roman law is a legal-historical term that refers originally to the set of legal rules observed in the city of Rome and later to the body of law applied to the territory of the Roman Empire and, after the fall of the Roman Empire of the West in 476 AD, to the territory of the Eastern Roman Empire. Even after 476, Roman law continued to influence the legal systems of the Western kingdoms. A systematic study of the Roman Law in the post-Roman West, though, would await the so-called rediscovery of the Civil Law Body by Italian jurists in the twelfth century.
