Do you have any views on the date of this code? It strikes me as being more Byzantine than Principate or Dominate, especially the one on having the offender's nose cut off for rape, although there are parallels with the Digest. If I remember aright, it survives only as a copy of a Byzantine original but I am open to correction on this.
