Abstract
This is the introduction for a set of papers from the Volterra Colloquium held at the ICS in March 2004. The Projet Volterra was established in honour of the memory of the Roman lawyer Edoardo Volterra (1904-1984) and its overall aim is to promote the study of Roman law in its full social, political and legal context. Phase one of the British contribution to this aim, entitled ‘Law and Empire’, has produced an on-line searchable database with supporting information of all laws issued by Roman emperors between 193 and 455. A second phase, entitled ‘Law and the End of Empire, commenced in 2005 and seeks to examine the fate of Roman law from the fifth century down to the Carolingian period. Both phases of the project are based in the Department of History at University College London (http://www.ucl.ac.uk/history2/volterra/).
