Compile the laws of the Roman Empire under Christian emperors since 312 CE
The finished Codex was a collection of 16 books containing more than 2,500 constitutions issued between 313 and 437 CE. "The Theodosian Code was the first occasion since the Twelve Tables on which a Roman government had attempted by public authority to collect and publish its leges." [John F Matthews, 2000)] It covers political, socioeconomic, cultural and religious subjects of the 4th and 5th centuries in the Roman Empire.
