The book explores the effects that the ideals of modern law had on ancient Roman jurists, or rather, how later authors describing Roman jurists knowingly or unknowingly made the Romans reflect the ideals and virtues of their own time. Through the lives and works of classical Roman jurists, such as Q. Mucius Scaevola, Labeo, Capito, and Salvius Julianus, the book traces the emergence of the ideals of legal system, autonomy of law, and the codification of law in the historiography of Roman jurists. These three ideals were typical of the modern 19th century view of the law.
