1. Roman Empire:
- Latin as the official language: The Romans used Latin as their official language. Latin was widely spoken throughout the Roman Empire.
- Twelve Tables: The Twelve Tables were a set of laws that were put in place during the early Roman Republic. They formed the foundation of Roman law.
2. Byzantine Empire:
- Greek as the official language: The Byzantine Empire adopted Greek as its official language. Greek became the dominant language of administration, literature, and culture in the Byzantine Empire.
- Cyrillic alphabet: The Cyrillic alphabet was not initially associated with the Byzantine Empire. It was developed later as a writing system primarily used for Slavic languages, and it became associated with various Slavic cultures and states.
Now, let's match the elements with the respective empires:

- Latin as official language: This is associated with the Roman Empire, as Latin was the primary language used throughout the Roman Empire.
