		The laws of the Twelve Tables represent the first attempt made by the decemvirs, 451-450 B.C., to reduce to a regular code the older unwritten and imperfectly formulated laws of custom—criminal, civil, and religious (iiis publicum, prlvatitm, sacrum)—which had up to that time prevailed in Rome.
		The importance ascribed to the Twelve Tables by the Romans is clear from their forming a principal part of the education of Roman boys; even in the boyho'od of Cicero they were still learnt by heart in the schools of Rome.
		The laws were written on twelve tablets of bronze, but it is doubtful whether the originals survived the capture of Rome by the Gauls in 390 B.C. It was probably copies of these that were still standing in the Roman Forum in the 2nd century after Christ.

		Although the study is wide ranging chronologically and with respect to the topics treated, it centers primarily on the law of the Twelve Tables and the role of the pontiffs in the development of Roman private law.
		He agrees with several other eminent scholars of Roman private law in seeing the secular nature of the law of the Twelve Tables as marking an important landmark, when compared with the motley mixture of public, private, and sacred elements found in earlier known Roman enactments, the so-called Leges Regiae (21-9 and 87-90).
		Since the law of the Twelve Tables survived into historical times, many modern scholars fall into the trap of thinking that the ancient historical tradition concerning the circumstances of its promulgation must be, in large measure, authentic as well.

		In the second place, the senate still preserved its probouleutic function; that is to say, even a consul could not submit a single question to the comitia until it had previously been discussed by the senate, and its reference to the larger assembly had been approved by that body.
		The enactment of the Twelve Tables was preceded by a period of discontent and even active agitation, and the relations of the two parties were still in a sort of ferment, and incapable of satisfactory adjustment except by some constitutional reform of more than ordinary comprehensiveness...
