The Twelve Tables was the law of what land?

The Twelve Tables refers to the laws that existed in Ancient Rome. They were posted in the Roman Forum for all citizens to see. It is the earliest attempt to codify law in Ancient Rome. The Twelve Tables were written in the Fifth Century B.C. in an attempt to ease tensions between the elite patrician class and the common plebian class. Most of the details in the Twelve Tables were probably practiced in custom for many years before being written into law. The laws were to be enforced by two consuls.

The first two tablets establish procedures for trials. Other tables discuss paternal rights, debt, land rights, property rights, and sacred laws.

The Roman system of law was considered one of the great achievements of their culture and was an influence on future western civilizations.
