Ulpian was a Roman jurist and senior imperial official whose writing helped define ideas of justice, legal duty, and public and private law. Much of his work survives through the sixth-century Digest of Justinian.
A LESSER-KNOWN DETAIL
His legal influence is astonishingly large: passages drawn from Ulpian make up roughly a third of Justinian’s Digest. He was killed in the imperial palace by members of the Praetorian Guard.
Words by Ulpian
“Justice is the constant and perpetual wish to render every one his due.”
