Introduction to the Codex

The Codex Juris Novae Romae presents the leges of Nova Roma by dividing them by subjects, presenting a succinct version (meaning, with all the changes intervened during the years) of each law, with links to the amending texts and expunging the abrogated laws.

This is not an official record of laws, merely a helpful guide. Citizens should refer to the Tabularium of Nova Roma for official information. An alternate way to search through all active leges is through the library of laws 'In Force'.
