Period 2: The Twelve Tables by Danielle Lapierre https://padlet.com/dlapierre2/9cqnsrmkldizzfqr Directions: The following selection is from the Roman Law of the Twelve Tables. As you read, re-word each law in your own words. Then choose if you agree or disagree and explain why! Questions for Discussion: -What similarities and differences can one find between the Twelve Tables and the Code of Hammurabi? -Overall, what can this document reveal to us about the values of ancient Roman society? en-us 2022-01-10 17:36:11 UTC 2025-11-06 17:21:23 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f4d6.png Parker Schwartz, I agree that if someone tries to harm you that first you should try and call out before trying to kill them so someone can hear you and try and help. But if no one hears the the thief is still harming you, you should protect yourself https://padlet.com/dlapierre2/9cqnsrmkldizzfqr/wish/1986007496 2022-01-11 13:30:04 UTC https://padlet.com/dlapierre2/9cqnsrmkldizzfqr/wish/1986007496 Aiden Saavedra https://padlet.com/dlapierre2/9cqnsrmkldizzfqr/wish/1986008770 If you sing or make a song that is negative about someone else you are going to die.

I Disagree because people should have the freedom to say what they want about other people and being sentenced to death does not justify there actions.]]> 2022-01-11 13:30:41 UTC https://padlet.com/dlapierre2/9cqnsrmkldizzfqr/wish/1986008770 You can't kill a non guilty person as it is forbiden. https://padlet.com/dlapierre2/9cqnsrmkldizzfqr/wish/1986008803 I agree because you shouldn't be allowed to kill someone who is completly innocent as that would be murder. The person should be fully proven guilty before they can be killed. - Anthony LaQuatra]]> 2022-01-11 13:30:42 UTC https://padlet.com/dlapierre2/9cqnsrmkldizzfqr/wish/1986008803 Killing anyone that wasn't proven guilty is not permitted. daibet https://padlet.com/dlapierre2/9cqnsrmkldizzfqr/wish/1986008892 I agree with this law because especially with the unreliable technology from back then, being framed is very easy and to be killed for a crime is not good. This is still used to today too in the phrase of innocent until proven guilty. ]]> 2022-01-11 13:30:45 UTC https://padlet.com/dlapierre2/9cqnsrmkldizzfqr/wish/1986008892 JOSH https://padlet.com/dlapierre2/9cqnsrmkldizzfqr/wish/1986009246 If you make song that involves insults to one another then you are killed. I disagree with this because you should be allowed to say whatever you feel. I think that these laws are similar to hammurabi's code because both are a set of laws that civilians must follow. The laws are also different because Hammurabi's punishments were far more extreme.]]> 2022-01-11 13:30:54 UTC https://padlet.com/dlapierre2/9cqnsrmkldizzfqr/wish/1986009246 You may not kill a man until they are fully proven guilty. https://padlet.com/dlapierre2/9cqnsrmkldizzfqr/wish/1986009285 I agree with this because everyone should get a chance of Justice. Someone could have been falsely accused or just could have been the total wrong person. -Gavin

However during the daylight if someone were to robe you house or properties you cannot kill him if he doesn't fight back with a weapon. And in stead must ask for help from others.
-This law does not make sense as there is not much of a difference in my opinion of day and night. Rather it should be based on what is considered self defense. ]]> 2022-01-11 13:31:26 UTC https://padlet.com/dlapierre2/9cqnsrmkldizzfqr/wish/1986010326 being truthful is valued and if you lie to try to tell them lies, you will be thrown away and be disposed of nguyental https://padlet.com/dlapierre2/9cqnsrmkldizzfqr/wish/1986011307 - talia]]> 2022-01-11 13:31:54 UTC https://padlet.com/dlapierre2/9cqnsrmkldizzfqr/wish/1986011307 If you break the bone of a freeman you have to pay them 300 coins and its a slave you have to pay 150 coins and if someone is guilty of insult then you have to pay 25 coins. I agree with this law because if you break someones bone money can at least give them a chance to get it fixed since you would have to pay a doctor for that. https://padlet.com/dlapierre2/9cqnsrmkldizzfqr/wish/1986011656 Robert]]> 2022-01-11 13:32:05 UTC https://padlet.com/dlapierre2/9cqnsrmkldizzfqr/wish/1986011656 If someone is not guilty, you can't kill them. https://padlet.com/dlapierre2/9cqnsrmkldizzfqr/wish/1986011736 I agree with this law because if you can't prove someone guilty, then they shouldn't be killed. Back then, you could also frame someone really easily and it could just cause a lot of chaos if you kill someone the moment they are "guilty". I think you should have to be proven guilty before you receive a punishment.

I mean, yes, you shouldn't sing a composed song about someone else, especially if it is negative. But still- You cannot just beat someone to death because of it. Just... maybe pay a fine, or even a reasonable amount of jail time is better.]]> 2022-01-11 13:32:36 UTC https://padlet.com/dlapierre2/9cqnsrmkldizzfqr/wish/1986012766 Josephine Kang https://padlet.com/dlapierre2/9cqnsrmkldizzfqr/wish/1986013960 If anyone injures someone, there will be an attack unless they make an agreement to settle. Basically saying that if someone gets injured by someone else they will be punished. Depending on your social class it differed on the punishment.

I agree and disagree depending of what they lied about. If you lied about something that would get another person kill I 100% agree, but if its like "this guy stole my rock" I disagree.]]> 2022-01-11 13:33:27 UTC https://padlet.com/dlapierre2/9cqnsrmkldizzfqr/wish/1986014715 If you have been discovered to lie then you will be thrown off https://padlet.com/dlapierre2/9cqnsrmkldizzfqr/wish/1986018307 I am neutral about this law, because it depends on what the crime the person has lied about or if it is a legal matter or a trivial problem. -Alice]]> 2022-01-11 13:35:03 UTC https://padlet.com/dlapierre2/9cqnsrmkldizzfqr/wish/1986018307 https://padlet.com/dlapierre2/9cqnsrmkldizzfqr/wish/1986019414 if you were caught lying about something then you will be killed

I agree and disagree because i think you should be punished for lying but you shouldn't be killed. I think it also depends on what you lied about, or who you lied about.

I agree with this law because it would be bad if the person who broke the bone doesn't get a punishment. ]]> 2022-01-11 13:35:40 UTC https://padlet.com/dlapierre2/9cqnsrmkldizzfqr/wish/1986019651 SAM FLAX if someone is being robbed they can kill the robber without there being a consequence. if the robber is killed during the day and did not defend himself than the owner is guilty. https://padlet.com/dlapierre2/9cqnsrmkldizzfqr/wish/1986020109
i disagree i think that is the robber is killed no matter what it should stay that way and the owner shouldn't get punished for his actions

personally i disagree, first of all i feel like everyone should have freedom of speech unless what they are saying is truly disgusting. Second i feel that the punishment is over exaggerated and unnecessary, on the other hand time locked away would definitely be more reasonable. ]]> 2022-01-11 13:36:23 UTC https://padlet.com/dlapierre2/9cqnsrmkldizzfqr/wish/1986021231 Elizabeth Taris https://padlet.com/dlapierre2/9cqnsrmkldizzfqr/wish/1986021924 If a person has injured someone, there will be an attack unless he agrees to settle.

If a theif attacks you during the day, you cannot protect yourself, you have to call for someone else. https://padlet.com/dlapierre2/9cqnsrmkldizzfqr/wish/1986023855 I agree with defending yourself against someone who is harming you. ]]> 2022-01-11 13:37:40 UTC https://padlet.com/dlapierre2/9cqnsrmkldizzfqr/wish/1986023855 Aidan mongiello https://padlet.com/dlapierre2/9cqnsrmkldizzfqr/wish/1986025452 If you hurt some in any way it says that the person that was hurt shall retaliate in some way to match that or it can be settled via an agreement for something (maybe money).
If you hurt/ break a man who once was a slave and had been freed you will have to pay a fine of 300 coins. If you hurt/break the bone of a slave you will have to pay a fine 150 coins. If you are guilty of insult you would be fined 25 coins

I'm in the middle with this because its fair but the first one seems a little much but still I lean more on the agree side]]> 2022-01-11 13:38:23 UTC https://padlet.com/dlapierre2/9cqnsrmkldizzfqr/wish/1986025452 Sean Moschella https://padlet.com/dlapierre2/9cqnsrmkldizzfqr/wish/1986032634 I agree because Depending on what class which is someone is hurting a person a person should be doing the same in breaking bones or killing the person. ]]> 2022-01-11 13:41:49 UTC https://padlet.com/dlapierre2/9cqnsrmkldizzfqr/wish/1986032634 Ricky Ni https://padlet.com/dlapierre2/9cqnsrmkldizzfqr/wish/1986036583 If a thief has been caught during the nighttime and killed, it shall be considered lawfully killed. However, if a thief is caught in the morning, it is illegal to kill the thief UNLESS he has come with a weapon. And unless he fights back with this weapon it is illegal to kill him. And when he does fight back first call so that one might hear and come up.
I disagree with this law simply due to the fact that is it very long and very specific and the difference between the day and the night. Why should the time of day determine what punishments one has?]]> 2022-01-11 13:43:40 UTC https://padlet.com/dlapierre2/9cqnsrmkldizzfqr/wish/1986036583 https://padlet.com/dlapierre2/9cqnsrmkldizzfqr/wish/1986039085 A person that is lying will die.
