Abstract
The wheel of history rolls forward, leaving a profound mark on the land of ancient Rome. In this long history, Roman law, as the birthplace of Western civilization, has a far-reaching impact. Among them, the bloodshed between the aristocrats and the commoners is undoubtedly the most profound mark in Roman history. However, behind this mark is hidden a great law - the Laws of the Twelve Tables. Laws of the Twelve Tables is the earliest written law of ancient Rome, which had a profound influence on the development of the legal system of later generations. The birth of this law marked the transformation of Roman society from a tribal union to a centralized system, and laid the foundation for the later Roman Empire. This paper will assess the historical significance and impact of the Twelve Bronze Tables Law in light of contemporary legal theories. This will offer a fresh viewpoint and source of inspiration for future research on Roman legal history, help people around the world gain a better understanding of the principles and practices of the rule of law in ancient Rome, and serve as a helpful guide for the development of the rule of law in contemporary society.
