Tell me a short, interesting fact about
One interesting fact about the Roman Empire is that it was the first empire in history to adopt a legal code that civilized the law, known as the Twelve Tables. These tablets, created in 451-450 BC, laid the groundwork for many legal procedures and principles that have been adapted and used in Western legal systems to this day. For example, the concept of "innocent until proven guilty" can be traced back to the Roman legal principle " Innocent, until it is shown that he is guilty."
