Justinians Code

The purpose of creating this code was to provide a law that was easily understood, did not have superflous fluff, and that corrected all wrongs.

The source of Roman law are the laws of nature.

This teaches us that Byzantine law is influenced by the Greeks, that it contains "statutes, plebiscites, senatusconsults, enactments of the Emperors, edicts of the magistrates, and answers of those learned in the law. " also, the government needed strict law to regulate and correct society.
