lex duodecim tabularum

汉语语境:

《十二表法》是古代罗马历史上第一部成文法典，它是罗马平民与贵族两大阶层利益平衡和整合的产物。在罗马共和国早期，平民为了争取社会公正和与贵族平等的政治权益，开展了一场争取立法的运动，这一利益诉求通过颁布罗马历史上第一部成文法典而得以实现。这一事件成为罗马历史的一个重要转折点:罗马社会两大阶层通过这一事件开始消弭两者之间的矛盾和差异，为打造罗马城邦共同体创造了条件。

英语语境:

“Dodici Tavole”, the product of the balancing of interests between the commons and the aristocrats, was the first code in the history of ancient Rome. In the early periods of the Roman Republic, the commons, in order to gain social justice and equal rights with the aristocrats, launched a campaign for legislation, which became a turning-point in Roman history. The two classes began to eliminate their conflicts and differences, thus laying the foundation for the set-up of the commonwealth of city states.
