The history of Rome first meets us in the dim legendary story of a small community planted on the left bank of the Tiber. We can fix no certain date for its beginning, nor is it easy to say when it ended. It is not the history of a nation, but of a government. The last remains of a government continuously descended from that of ancient Rome did not disappear till 1453 A.D., when Constantinople was taken by the Turks. But Roman law, the supreme product of Roman government, is still living, for it is the foundation of many of the legal systems still in force.
We may divide Roman history for convenience sake into periods according to the form of government in use. 1. Regal period, our knowledge of which is very slight and indirect. 2. Republican period. 3. Imperial period. It is with the second of these that we are concerned...
