Roman lawmakers and legal advisers have created a system meant to organize social and economic relations in a market economy created by the Roman state, which, because of its great territorial conquests becomes the most powerful state of the Antiquity spread throughout three continents. Roman law was a priceless thesaurus of universal civilization, as it represents the conceptual structure which would later become the basis of all future institutions, principles, and regulations of legal systems. In the modern age, along with the coding activity, Roman law was a theoretical and practical guide for all future regulations.
