Twelve Tables

In ancient Rome, the earliest law code, drawn from religious and secular custom. It was published on tablets of bronze or wood at the Roman forum c. 450 BC, and though these were destroyed in the sack of Rome by Celts 387 BC, the code survived to have influence into the later Republic.
