Construction of St. Peter's Basilica, Rome (1506-1626)

In the labyrinthine silence of ancient halls, we trace the elegant threads of Roman law, woven intricately into the mosaic of the Corpus Juris Civilis under Emperor Justinians keen vision. Surrounded by the hushed whispers of parchment and ink, Tribonian and his scholars craft a legal codex of unprecedented depth, merging centuries of decrees, doctrines, and judicious wisdom into a unified whole. As night folds softly around us, we explore these illuminated pages, each line a delicate intersection of past and present, guiding the legal foundations that whisper through time. Let us drift into the serene embrace of history, where the echoes of a bygone empire lull us into peaceful slumber. This episode is hosted by William Davis.
