twelve tables? Yes, the twelve tables were the first written laws of the early Romans. However afterwards more laws were added and they were named after the senator's clan who proposed them, such as the Lex Julia, Lex Vaconia, Lex Oppia, etc.
Assemblies do not have written codes of laws. Laws are matters for magistrates and courts, not assemblies. Codes of law are things such as civil law, criminal law, and constitutional law. What assemblies have are procedures regarding debating, voting and other business they might carry out. Also note that Rome had three assemblies: the assembly of the soldiers, the assembly of the tribes, and the plebeian councils.
