The Twelve Tables

The Twelve Tables were a set of laws that were written on 12 bronze tablets that were created in Ancient Rome in 451 BCE  and 450 BCE. They were the beginning of a new approach to laws where they would be passed by government and written down so that all citizens might be treated equally before them. They stated the rights and duties of a Roman Citizen. They formed the basis for Roman law for a thousand years.
