«Antique», or «antiquity», - is history, culture and science of the Ancient Greece and the Ancient Rome since the ages, when the first ancient Greek states emerged (3-2 millennium B.C.) and until collapse of the Roman Empire (5-th century A.D.). During this era, the imagery of antique art, culture and science was solidified as an ideal, unreachable example to imitate, which elevates the human figure and affirms the highest value of his rights and freedoms.

First of all, the antique era law associates with era of development of the Roman law, which includes more than one thousand years of jurisprudence: from the Law of Twelve Tables (appx. 439 B.C.) and until the corpus of roman civil laws, known as “Justinian Corpus” and “the Code of Justinian” (lat. Corpus Iuris Civilis), compiled at 529—534 A.D. by the Byzantine emperor Justinian the Great .

The antique legislation appeared to people as an authoritative and obligatory regulator of civil life, which was adopted by consensual approval and deprived of mystical basis. It is right from the antique times the tradition of obeying law appeared as not only an obligation of a citizen before the state, but as matter of honor of each person and citizen.  

The main traditions of the Roman legislation are also preserved in modern codifications of civil law, and have significant influence upon legal systems of Great Britain and Northern America.
