Summary/Abstract: It is well known that the Compilation conceived by Justinian from 528 was designed to have a universal value. On the political level, the aim of the Illyrian emperor was to restore the Empire to the dimension of its greatest splendor. On the ideological level, the imperial power, endowed with divine foundation, was conceived to assume an ecumenical value, extending to all peoples. Coherently, the Compilations had to have an equally general scope, unifying all peoples under the values and concepts of ius romanum. This paper aims to find the traces of these beliefs within Justinian's legislation, highlighting the most significant expressions of an all-embracing conception of the values and law of Romanity that pervaded the imperial ideology.
