Description: Starting as a small kingdom, Rome grew to be republic and then an empire that lasted about 500 years in Western Europe and almost another thousand years in the eastern Mediterranean. During that time, the Romans introduced elements of civil and criminal law that provided the foundation for the legal systems of most nations in the western world today. For a while, Roman law became the law of the western world. Is the idea of a "law of the nations" workable in the world of today? Standards 6.7.8 and 7.1.1
