Summary

Classical Law Codes explores how ancient Greek and Roman legal systems shaped Western concepts of justice and governance. It offers a comparative analysis, highlighting differences in codification, civil rights, and property regulation. One intriguing insight is how Roman law, with its emphasis on codification, had a more direct impact than the more philosophical Greek legal practices. The book demonstrates how these systems, though ancient, still resonate in contemporary legal discourse.

 
The book unfolds in three parts, beginning with the historical and social context of Greek law, particularly in Athenian democracy. It then examines Roman law, from the Twelve Tables to Justinian's Corpus Juris Civilis, tracing the evolution of legal thought and institutions.

 
Finally, it directly compares the two systems, focusing on property rights, contracts, and criminal justice, revealing how each system addressed social inequality and individual liberties. Through primary sources and scholarly analysis, this book provides a nuanced understanding of classical legal systems and their lasting legacy.

    "Laches" is a philosophical dialogue by Plato that explores the nature of courage and the role of education in developing moral virtue. The dialogue takes place between Socrates and two generals, Laches and Nicias, who are both renowned for their military expertise. Socrates begins by questioning Laches and Nicias about their understanding of courage. They both agree that courage involves endurance in the face of danger, but they struggle to define it more precisely. Socrates then challenges their beliefs by asking them to consider whether courage is simply a matter of endurance or whether it also involves knowledge and wisdom. Read in English, unabridged.

In fairy stories handsome Kings and Princes regularly sweep fair maidens off their feet, transforming them into Princesses and Queens, and although a rarer occurrence, a Royal Princess can create a Prince out of the most unpromising of characters! 
 
From King Arthur through to Prince Charles and Diana, Royal Romances - The British Monarchy gives you an enlightening insight into British Royal history.
