Herennius Modestinus was one of the five great civilians whose works formed the foundation of Roman jurisprudence. His legal writings were considered oracular in their authority, and his contributions were preserved in Justinian's great compilation, ensuring his influence would extend far beyond his own century.
Description
A distinguished Roman scholar with the refined features and dignified bearing appropriate to a jurist of imperial Rome. His appearance suggests careful study and measured thought, wearing the formal robes or toga that mark his status among the great legal minds of the empire.
