Sommario/riassunto

This book, authored by J.H.A. Lokin, explores the codifications of Late Antiquity, focusing on the legislative techniques and the legal codes of Theodosius II and Justinian. The book delves into the exclusivity and universality of these codes, detailing how they were declared exclusive



in legal courts, limiting the use of other constitutions. The book further examines the universal validity granted to the constitutions within these codes, despite their specific content. Lokin's work offers an in-depth analysis of the legislative processes during the reigns of these emperors, providing insights into the historical context and the evolution of law. This scholarly work is intended for an academic audience, including legal historians and scholars interested in ancient legal systems.
