HW 11/7 (Primary Source)

1.) The purpose of creating this code was to regulate "all affairs both divine and human", to expel "all injustice", and "to collect and revise the whole body of Roman jurisprudence". This means that it was set up to regulate people's lives, to serve as justice for wrong doing, and look after the Roman people.

2.) The text cites Lex Regia as the source of Roman law.

3.) The text teaches us that the Byzantine people were heavily influenced by Christianity, left everything to God and put their faith and fate into His hands, they feuded with the Roman Empire and thought that they were better than the Roman Empire and everyone else.
