The following article focuses on the influence of Christian thought on imperial Roman law towards non-Christian subjects. In particular Theodosian and Justinian Codes show a certain discrimination based on status regarding Jews, heretics, and apostates. Under the influence of Christianity a new system of values was attributed to classical legal terms. This process also involved the concept of citizen, and inequalities of prestige were associated with people's religious creeds. What in Roman law was previously understood as civis was now transferred to the Christianus civis.
