Moreover, Roman law is the common foundation upon which the European legal order is built. Therefore, it serves as a source of rules and legal norms which easily blend within the European countries own national laws. Roman law is not only effectively mixed in the widely used common law and continental law norms and practices, but its set of fundamental principles and/or established rules pre-defines, shapes and provides law sources in accordance to which states are governed in general. Nowadays, these rules altogether make up, i.e. constitute, what the entity is all about and what is also commonly referred to as Nations’ Constitutions <ref>i.e. Nation Main Law(s)</ref>.

Truly, the Roman Empire may have left countless marks on the modern Western world, though, its greatest contribution to it is its law. It still has a very direct influence today and we can derive the conclusion that Rome’s main legacy is in the field of law, because Roman law has had an enormous influence on the development of law in Europe and in what is referred to as Continental Law in general. It’s no coincidence then that Roman law remains a compulsory subject in our law faculties and modern studies. We still refer to that very same old Roman law all the time even today. And last, but in no way least, it’s then vital to note that – while in all other fields the influences are mixed <ref>i.e philosophy and architecture also have Greek influences</ref>, and apart from Latin language obviously – law is the only contribution to the modern world that is derived solely from ancient Rome.
