Twelve Tables - 451 BCE - Plebian pressure to codify Roman law
lead to a commission which created a set of twelve laws known as the
``Twelve Tables.'' The ``Twelve Tables'' restricted the influence of
upper-classes and helped minimize arbitrary authority and tyranny. The
Twelve Tables cover many aspects of Roman society including family,
inheritance, slave ownership, crimes, and property ownership. important
