Document Summary
An important transformation in the fourth century ad was emperor constantine"s edict of. Milan in 313 ad, which officially ended persecution of christians and other groups. Emperor theodosius i (347-395 ad) made catholicism the official religion of the state. Nonetheless, christianity had little impact on the substance of private law. After the de facto partitioning of the roman empire in the third century ad, a formal division between the. Eastern and western empires was created in 395 (see the map in stein facing page 1). This severance of the latin west from the largely greek-speaking (and later slavic) east was to have a monumental impact on the history of europe in later centuries. In the fourth century ad, the formulary procedure was abandoned in favour of a new procedural form, the cognitioprocedure. The age-old division of the action into two phases, one before the praetor and the other before the iudex, disappeared.
