Abstract

The main subject of this work is the translation of a hitherto untranslated (into polish) protocol of an extraordinary meeting of the senate of the city of Rome held in 438 during which a vote was held in favour of adopting the Theodosian Code in the Western Empire, Gesta Senatus Romani de Teodosiano Publicando. The translation is accompanied by a historical – legal commentary. In the legal commentary special attention was paid to the characterisation of the Gesta Senatus as a legal document against the background of the closed catalog of sources of Roman law existing in late antiquity.

Keywords:

Gesta senatus;, Roman Senate;, promulgation;, Theodosian Code;, Western Empire.
