Episode 100 - The Enduring Echo of the Law
Our journey through a century of episodes comes to its conclusion. We have walked the dusty streets of Athens and the marble forums of Rome, witnessing famous trials, brutal punishments, and the birth of legal science. In this final episode, we reflect on the immense and enduring echo of classical law in our own time. We trace the threads of this legacy through the ages: the survival of Roman law in Justinian's Code, its revolutionary rediscovery in medieval Italy, and its role in shaping the Napoleonic Code and the civil law systems that govern half the modern world. We also reflect on the Greek legacy: the ideals of trial by jury, the value of civic participation, and the philosophical quest for the nature of justice itself. We revisit the key themes of the series: the rule of law, the rights of the citizen, and the eternal tension between law and liberty. The language we use in our courts, the institutions we trust to protect us, and the rights we cherish as fundamental are all deeply indebted to the legal worlds of Greece and Rome. Their struggles and achievements are not just relics of the distant past; they are woven into the very fabric of our present. Thank you for joining us on this epic journey through the crime and punishment of the ancient world.
