Lex Atinia
The lex Atinia may refer to one of several pieces of Roman legislation.
lex Atinia (197 BC)[]
The lex Atinia de usucapione was introduced by Gaius Atinius Labeo in 197 BC. The law dealt with usucaption, acquisition of a title or right to property by uninterrupted and undisputed possession for a prescribed term.[1]
The law prevented the acquisition of title by continued possession of stolen goods.[2][3] Aulus Gellius (17.7) quotes it and cites its meaning.[4]
lex Atinia (Late Second Century BC)[]
The lex Atinia de tribunis plebis in senatum legendis was a law dealing with the enrollment of tribunes of the plebs into the senate. there is much debate about its exact date and provisions.[5] It probably entitled the holders of the office to sit in the senate as a tribuniscius and a presumptive inclusion for the next senatorial lectio.[6]
