Legal Definition and Related Resources of Constitutiones
Meaning of Constitutiones
Laws promulgated, i. e., enacted, by the Roman emperor. They were of the following kinds: (1) Edicta; (2) decreta; (3) rescripta, called, also, “epistolae.” Sometimes they were general, and intended to form a precedent for other like cases. At other times they were special, particular, or individual (personales) , and not intended to form a precedent. The emperor had this power of irresponsible enactment by virtue of a certain lex regia, whereby he was made the fountain of justice and of mercy. Brown.
