Justinian I was Emperor of the Roman Byzantine Empire from 527 to 565. The first code, which included only the Codex was completed in 529. The Digesta and Institutiones were added in 534.

In the effort to simplify the code of laws, Justinian appointed 10 men to research all known laws and ordinances in the history of the empire. The commission siphoned out any outdated laws or laws that contradicted each other, and the result was known as the Codex Constiutionum.

The Digesta was a collection of 50 books of jurists rulings over the centuries. Any rulings that didn't appear in these books were then unable to be cited by lawyers in any court tribunal. This collection was built upon the research of 16 lawyers. The Institutiones amounted to a textbook for law students.

Finally, the Novellae Constiutiones Post Codicem acted as a supplement to the code and included Justinian's own ordinances that he announced between 534 and 565. This collection was added to the code after the first revision of the code.The Justinian Code was important as it simplified and streamlined centuries of existing Roman laws and Justinian's own laws and into one system.
