There are seven major origins.
1. Customary law.
Before 450 B.C., the basic source of law in the Roman state was customary law.
2. Parliamentary legislation.
During the Roman Republic, the most important laws of this period were the enactment of laws by the popular assembly, the Council of Hundreds, and the plebeian assembly.
3. Resolution of the Senate.
The Senate is similar to the modern Congress, which is the highest organ of state power in Rome, enjoying certain legislative functions, and the laws passed by the Council need to be approved by the Senate before they can take effect. During the imperial period, the Senate was controlled by the emperor, and the resolutions passed by it had the force of law.
5. Chief's Notice.
Notices issued by the Senior Chief Executive and the Supreme Magistrate have the force of law.
6. The Emperor's Edict.
The Imperial Decree of Roman Law was an important source of the Emperor's Edict.
7. Answers and writings of jurists.
The writings of jurists with the right to answer the law and the answers to the law in public places are also one of the sources of Roman law.

In the hundreds of years since its founding, the Roman Republic has expanded from a small place to a Roman Empire spanning three continents: Europe, Asia and Africa. The reason for this is that, in addition to Rome's strong military power, Roman law also played a key role. In the middle of BC5, Rome established the Law of the Twelve Tables.
BC27, the Great Roman Empire is founded. In order to maintain his rule, the Roman emperor organized jurists to actively codify the legal code to enrich Roman law. AD6, the Eastern Roman Emperor Justinian organized jurists to systematize and codify the Roman law of the past dynasties, and compiled it into the "Encyclopedia of Civil Law", and the Roman law system was finally completed.

The evolution of Roman law: the customary law --- the Law of the Twelve Tables marked the birth of written law--- the universal civil law--- civil law --- the encyclopedia of civil law marked the final completion of Roman law.
We just finished reviewing this in our third year of high school. You're really asking, hehe.

Originated from the 12 Tables of Ancient Rome.

It is only known that the civil law system originated in Roman law.

To be precise, the Roman legal system After the founding of Rome, the contradiction between the commoners and the nobility became increasingly acute, and under the pressure of the plebeian struggle, the Roman aristocracy was forced to agree to formulate the first written code in Roman history, the "Law of the Twelve Tables". Promulgated in 450 B.C., it was named after the inscription on 12 bronze watches. It was the starting point for the development of Roman statutory law.
The most important legal code of ancient Rome was the Justinian Civil Law Encyclopedia, completed during the Justinian period, which included the Justinian Code, the Compendium of Doctrines, the Ladder of Jurisprudence, and the New Law. It was called "the first universal law" by Engels
The most complete part of Roman law, and the one that had the greatest influence on later generations, was its private law section. At the same time, the principle of open trial litigation has also been established.
Most of the laws of the countries of the European continent are derived from Roman law, and on this basis the civil law system is formed.

In the early 6th century, the Eastern Roman Empire formed a codification committee to collect the decrees issued by the Roman emperors since the beginning of the 2nd century, remove the contradictory regulations, and compile them into a legal document. Its name is the Code of Justinian.

Roman law, generally referred to as the general term for the laws of Roman slave states, existed throughout the historical period of Roman slave states. It includes the laws of the Roman state from the beginning of the Roman state to the fall of the Western Roman Empire, as well as the orders of the emperor, the proclamations of the senate, statutory law, and some customary laws. It also includes the laws of the Eastern Roman Empire before the middle of the 7th century AD.
The ancient Roman slave state originated in Italy. Before the 8th century BC, Rome was in the period of clan communes. Legend has it that Romulus founded the city of Rome between 754 and 753 BC.
Rome in the 8th to 6th centuries BC is known as the royal period, when Rome was still in the transition from a clan society to a class society. This period was dominated by the customs of the ancient clans and the customs prevailing in society, which gradually evolved into customary law by the time the state was finally formed in the late royal period.
After the 7th century BC, with the development of productive forces and the emergence of private ownership, Roman society gave rise to two basically opposing classes, slave owners and slaves, and the clan system tended to disintegrate. At the same time, a "plebeian" class gradually formed. The commoners bore most of Rome's taxes and Roman military obligations, but because they were not members of clan communes, they could not enjoy political rights, intermarry with nobles, or occupy commons.
It was the long-term struggle between the commoners and the aristocracy for their rights that objectively accelerated the collapse of the Roman clan system and promoted the formation of the Roman slave state and law.
In the middle of the 6th century BC, the Roman aristocracy was forced to give in, and the sixth king, Servius Tullius, reformed Roman society, abolishing the original clans and tribes based on blood ties, dividing the inhabitants according to territorial relations, and dividing the inhabitants into five classes according to the amount of property. This reform marked the complete collapse of the Roman clan system, the formal emergence of the Roman slave state, and the entry of Rome into the period of the Republic.
With the eventual formation of the Roman slave state, Roman law was born. Of course, the early sources of law in the republic were mainly customary law. Roman law was a system of social norms that reflected the will of the Roman slave-owning class, protected the exploitative relations of slavery, consolidated the dominance of the slave-owning class in state institutions, and had unlimited power over slaves.

The origin of Roman law is customary law.
In 509 BC, the Roman Republic was established, and in 449 BC the Law of the Twelve Bronze Tables was promulgated.
From the founding of Rome to the middle of the 3rd century BC, the laws that emerged from Rome were collectively known as the Citizenship Law.
In the process of moving from a republic to an empire, in order to accommodate Gentiles and slaves, and to better rule Rome, a system of civil law was formed. The system of civil law applied to all citizens within the territory of Rome, and then to natural law, which was not a specific legal text, but a legal concept. In 27 BC, the Roman Empire was founded.
During the imperial period, the role of the law of all people gradually became apparent.

Roman law has its origins around the 7th century BC in the ancient Roman monarchy.
The contents include: the first written code of ancient Rome, the Twelve Tables, the early Roman Republic - civil law, the late Roman Republic - the civil law, and the Eastern Roman Justinian's reign, the first legal code of the Byzantine Empire, which began to be known as the "Justinian Civil Law Encyclopedia" in the 12th century AD.
Roman law originated in the Roman city-state. With the continuous expansion of Rome's territory, from the unification of Italy, the monopoly of the Mediterranean, to the establishment of a slave empire spanning Europe, Africa and Asia, Roman law also developed from the narrow customary law and civil law of the city-states to the universal civil law, and finally formed the first legal system with universal quality. After the formation of Roman law, it went through several stages: the period of "royal government", the period of the republic and the period of empire. >>>More
