About this person
Born around 170 in Tyre, in what was then Roman Syria, Ulpian moved to Rome and built a reputation as one of the empire's preeminent legal minds. His influence became so entrenched that the Law of Citations of Valentinian III named him one of only five jurists whose opinions could serve as binding precedent in Roman courts. He died sometime between 223 and 228, but his thinking outlasted the empire itself: when Justinian's scholars compiled the Digest centuries later, they drew roughly a third of its content from Ulpian's texts. Few legal writers have shaped as many centuries of law from as few surviving years.
