CASSĬA TĔRENTĬA FRŪMENTĀRĬA (B.C. 73) for the distribution of corn
among the poor citizens and the purchasing of it.
CINCĬA DE DŌNIS ET MŪNĔRĬBUS, a plebiscitum passed in the time of
the tribune M. Cincius Alimentus (B.C. 204). It forbade a person
to take any thing for his pains in pleading a cause. In the time
of Augustus, the Lex Cincia was confirmed by a senatus-consultum,
and a penalty of four times the sum received was imposed on the
advocate. The law was so far modified in the time of Claudius, that
an advocate was allowed to receive ten sestertia; if he took any
sum beyond that, he was liable to be prosecuted for repetundae.
It appears that this permission was so far restricted in Trajan’s
time, that the fee could not be paid till the work was done.
CLAUDĬA, passed under the emperor Claudius, took away the agnatorum
tutela in case of women.
CLAUDĬA DE SENATORIBUS, B.C. 218 (Liv. xxi. 63), the provisions of
which are alluded to by Cicero as antiquated and dead in his time.
CLŌDIAE, the name of various plebiscita, proposed by Clodius, when
tribune, B.C. 58.
CLODIA DE AUSPICIIS prevented the magistratus from dissolving the
comitia tributa, by declaring that the auspices were unfavourable.
This lex therefore repealed the Aelia and Fufia. It also enacted
that a lex might be passed on the dies fasti. [AELIA LEX.]
