| Summary: | Theodosius II, in February of the year 438, publishes the Theodosian Code in Constantinople and establishes that it will come into force only on 1st January 439; the Code, then, is presented to the Senate of Rome at Christmas of the same 438. The text of the edict contains few and precise normative dispositions within an articulated and rhetorical discourse: the latter suggests that the expressions used by the legislator do implicit references to clearly identifiable scriptural materials. Both the presence of these biblical echoes in the law and the choice to present the Code at Christmas make one think of thoughtful political options. |
