The Han dynasty and the Roman Empire were unified imperial states facing complex problems, and as a result shared much in common. In particular, their legal systems were extremely pragmatic and concrete, with the focus on day-to-day governance.
漢朝與羅馬帝國，同樣作為統一的大國，必須解決的問題繁多，因此漢代與羅馬帝國的國家特質很類似，非常腳踏實地的專注於施政問題的解決，與先秦諸子、希臘先哲「口水多於汗水」的個性全然不同。
