Ancient Law / The Rights Of A Patron : A 5 page
paper
discussing the relationship between the Digest that was part of
the Corpus Iuris Civilis ordered recorded by Emperor Justinian
of the early Byzantine Empire, c. 534. Only two Articles of the
body of civil law of the Empire are examined here (Articles
XIV and XV), but their relationship to the evolution of the lord
and serf relationship of medieval Europe is clear. Remarkably,
they even retain applicability to life today. Ariticles XIV and
XV address the rights of the patron and the obedience to parents
and patrons required of children who were under the age of
majority, which at that time was 25. Bibliography lists 1

pages in length. Greek law evolved as a
necessary means by which to regulate society's behavior. What
had up until then been left up to the whims of each individual to
handle on his own was now a product of fair and sensible legal
procedure. It can be argued that there was, indeed, a great need
for such a show of order in that there existed no modicum of
conformity when it came to retribution. As Greek law
continued to be established, it also became an integral
component of other areas of life, branching out into political and
social implications. The writer discusses Greek Law in relation
to the Sumerians; Egyptians; Hebraics; Hellenics; the Classical,
Roman and Christian periods; as well as Cicero, Augustine,
Plato and Aristotle. Bibliography lists 10 sources.
