Answer:

Corpus Juris Civilis

Step-by-step explanation:

The Corpus Juris Civilis, drawn up under the strict supervision of king justinian, was a milestone of Roman case law. Corpus Juris Civilis is indeed a magnificent artifact to something like a remarkable period of legislative system.

This scheme aims at clarifying and upgrading the older roman rules, removing contradictions and speeding up legal procedures, gathering royal decrees including expert advice on all sorts of matters, including penalties for particular marital offences and succession.
