The Ecloga is a compilation of 18 titles issued from Leo III and Constantine V, presumably in March 741. It constitutes a clear synrhesis of norms regarding frequent situations, with indications of how to determine punishment for crimes, based on the Corpus of Justinian and on regulation stipulated by the reigning sovereigns.
