I would call that Christian Law more than Roman law, tbh. It was legal until the emperors started being Christians. Which is odd once you consider the marriages in the Bible, but whatever.

If you look at most of the incestuous marriages in the Bible that were written about in detail, most of them showed really messed up situations.

The incest was only fucked up when it was about not having faith in God (see Tamar which wasn't technically even incest). Abraham and Sarah have a father in common and they're totally fine (that's why he told Pharaoh she was his sister, because he wasn't actually lying). See the entirety of Abraham's family. Incestuous. Nothing explains Adam's lineage from his kids or Noah's re-population of the earth, lbr. Then there's the pseudo-incest. If a brother died, the surviving brother would have to marry his widow. Jacob had sisters as wives. Ruth and Boaz were related through Naomi's spouse. There are specific provisions against certain types of incest, but everything else was fair game. Keeping it in the family was an important nomadic principal, actually, because property needed heirs.
