Detailed explanation-1: -The Codex Justinianus, or Code of Justinian, was a legal code. It consisted of the various sets of laws and legal interpretations collected and codified by scholars under the direction of Byzantine Emperor Justinian I.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Justinian Code strengthened the Byzantine Empire by making all its citizens subject to one universal law. This eliminated discord. Also, the Code solidified and strengthened the role of Christianity, and made pagan worship illegal, thereby lessening the threat of dissent.
Detailed explanation-3: -The impact of these codes on Rome as well as a modern society can still be felt today. The use of the Twelve Tables to give an understanding of basic law was crucial to the success of Rome. More civil rights were established and less social corruption occurred as a result of the introduction of the Twelve Tables.
