MILITARIS, proposed by C. Gracchus B.C. 123, enacted that the
soldiers should receive their clothing gratis, and that no one
should be enrolled as a soldier under the age of seventeen.
Previously a fixed sum was deducted from the pay for all clothes
and arms issued to the soldiers.
NE QUIS JUDICIO CIRCUMVENIRETUR, proposed by C. Gracchus, B.C. 123,
punished all who conspired to obtain the condemnation of a person
in a judicium publicum. One of the provisions of the Lex Cornelia
de Sicariis was to the same effect.
DE PROVINCIIS CONSULARIBUS, proposed by C. Gracchus B.C. 123,
enacted that the senate should fix each year, before the comitia
for electing the consuls were held, the two provinces which were to
be allotted to the two new consuls. There was also a Sempronian law
concerning the province of Asia, which probably did not form part
of the Lex de Provinciis Consularibus: it enacted that the taxes
of this province should be let out to farm by the censors at Rome.
This law was afterwards repealed by J. Caesar.
SEMPRŌNIA DE FĒNŎRE, B.C. 193, was a plebiscitum proposed by a
tribune, M. Sempronius, which enacted that the law (_jus_) about
money lent (_pecunia credita_) should be the same for the Socii and
Latini (_Socii ac nomen Latinum_) as for Roman citizens. The object
of the lex was to prevent Romans from lending money in the name of
the Socii, who were not bound by the fenebres leges. The lex could
obviously only apply within the jurisdiction of Rome.
SERVĪLĬA AGRĀRIA, proposed by the tribune P. S. Rullus in the
consulship of Cicero, B.C. 63, was a very extensive agrarian
rogatio. It was successfully opposed by Cicero; but it was in
substance carried by J. Caesar, B.C. 59 [LEX JULIA AGRARIA], and is
the lex called by Cicero _Lex Campana_, from the public land called
ager campanus being assigned under this lex.
