Talk:Visigothic Code
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The forum judicum is not the first of the written Visigothic law codes. Visigothic law was probably first written down much earlier than the 7th century. The Lex Romanum Visigothorum preceded the forum judicum, if I remember correctly, and sometime shortly after the Visigoths entered the territory of the Roman Empire there was the so-called Breviary of Alaric. I don't have my notes handy right now, so I can't make citations, but I'll try to dig something up soon and add more details to this discussion. Craig Schamp 23:40, Aug 2, 2004 (UTC)
