Here are some excellent links my friend.. you know as well as I do that Roman law wasn’t laid out in some singular book called Roman Law, but changed and developed over the centuries according to the whims of the leaders.

These links don’t say anything about any Roman law against polygamy for their subjects.

The whims of the leaders were of course written down; this is the only way a procurator in Judea, for example, could possibly know what the whims of the emperor were.
