This is the earliest attempt by the Romans to create a CODE OF LAW; it is also the earliest (surviving) piece of literature coming from the Romans. In the midst of a perennial struggle for legal and social protection and civil rights between the privileged class (patricians) and the common people (plebeians) a commission of ten men (Decemviri) was appointed (ca. 455 B.C.) to draw up a code of law which would be binding on both parties and which the magistrates (the 2 consuls) would have to enforce impartially.

The commission produced enough statutes (most of them were already `customary law' anyway) to fill TEN TABLETS, but this attempt seems not to have been entirely satisfactory--especially to the plebeians. A second commission of ten was therefore appointed (450 B.C.) and two additional tablets were drawn up. The originals, said to have been inscribed on bronze, were probably destroyed when the Gauls sacked and burned Rome in the invasion

Roman law was the basic legal substrate of all countries of the West until the s. XIX, moment in which began the elaboration of Constitutions, and own laws in each country.

However, at present Roman law is still valid in the basics, that is:

1.- In the ideas of judicial independence.

2.- In respect for the law.

3.- Equal rights for all citizens.

And that today we consider, sine qua non condition of democracy.
