Masurius Sabinus became the most celebrated teacher of the Sabinian school of Roman jurisprudence, his interpretations and teachings forming one of the two great legal traditions that would dominate Roman legal thought from the age of Augustus through that of Hadrian. His intellectual legacy established a school of legal interpretation that would influence centuries of Roman law.
