The Twelve Tables of the Law

Once upon a time, this word was being recited by Publius, the Second, his little sister listens: “The enemy of the enemy rules forever.”

Publius the Second was being ridiculed for his word, but this is withdrawn into the Forum.And so, Rufus is the Father to the Second. Rufus finds the Second and asks: “What is ‘The enemy of the enemy rules forever?’” I heard this being said by Publius.”

The father explains: “These are the words of the laws of the Twelve Tables, which are always memorized by all Roman boys, from the time when they were written.”

“When were they written?”

“At the beginning of the years of the civilization, When the Ten men had power.The laws of Rome were lengthy, retained in the memory of man, not written. But to the population of Rome desired to write them down, because many injuries to men were not known in the laws.”
