CODEX THEODOSIANUS

The 'Codex Theodosianus' (''Book of Theodosius'') was a compilation of the laws of the Roman Empire under the Christian emperors since 312. A commission was established by Theodosius II in 429 and the compilation was published in 438.
The Codex was also concerned with the imposition of orthodoxy - the Arian controversy was ongoing - within the Christian religion and contains 65 decrees directed at heretics. [1]
The Code was somewhat ineffectual and Roman law was organized further in the Corpus Juris Civilis during the reign of Justinian I.
