The law code of 702 refers to the Lex Visigothorum, also known as the Visigothic Code. This was a set of laws created by the Visigoths, a Germanic tribe that ruled over the Iberian Peninsula from the 5th to 8th centuries. The code was completed in 702 under the rule of King Chindasuinth and remained in effect until the Muslim conquest of the region in the early 8th century. It was an important legal document that influenced subsequent legal codes in Spain and other parts of Europe.
