Why did many people in ancient rome want a written law code?
The Roman Empire and the Byzantine Empire were the same thing. The term Byzantine Empire has coined by historians to indicate the eastern part of the Roman Empire after the fall of the western part in the 5thcentury. The Romans did not use this term. They called it Roman Empire or Romania (this referred to this empire and not the country which was later called Romania). The term Byzantine is derived from Byzantium, the Greek city which was redeveloped, turned into the imperial capital of the eastern part of the Roman Empire and renamed Constantinople by the emperor Constantine the Great in 330. It is used to indicate the fact that not long after the fall of the west, this empire became centred on Greece and Greek in character after it lost most of its non-Greek territories. Greek replaced Latin as the official language of this empire in 620, some 150 years after the fall of the west. Having an expensive legal code was not important just to the Romans. It was important to all ancient states and the states after antiquity. It is still important for the modern state.
