There are many hypothetical situations described, in which procedures, punishments or compensations are stipulated, </b>including measures and currency or ways of payment.
<b>Mostly, the Twelve Tables establishes procedures and general instructions applicable to types of situations, rather than very specific ones.</b><!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
