The Corpus Juris (or Iuris) Civilis (“Body of Civil Law”) is the modern name for a collection of fundamental works in jurisprudence, issued from 529 to 534 by order of Justinian I, Eastern Roman Emperor. It is also sometimes referred to as the Code of Justinian.
What follows (below) are some laws that have been selected from the Code of Justinian that were in effect for centuries within Catholic territory. These selections provide some potentially relevant evidence that may help identify the symbolic woman and beast, and some elements that may be characteristic of the mark of the beast. Without this mark, one cannot buy or sell. Notice that the prohibition against “buying and selling” is included among some of the laws within this Codex.
Book I.
