The Law of the Twelve Tables (Lex duodecim tabularum) is a collection of laws compiled in Rome in the fifth century BC. It was originally exhibited in the forum on twelve bronze tablets. The photograph shows a depiction of the Twelve Tables on the pediment of the former Imperial Court of Justice (Reichsgericht) in Leipzig. After being used as a museum in the German Democratic Republic, the building now houses the Federal Administrative Court (Bundesverwaltungsgericht) of Germany.
