Abstract:
The leges Liciniae Sextiae are a small set of four Roman legislative acts introduced in 367 BCE to regulate several matters. They take their name from their proponents, tribunes of the plebeians C. Licinius Stolo and L. Sextius Lateranus. One of these legislative acts states that in the place of the duumviri sacris faciundis, decemviri were to be elected, reserving five places to plebeians and five to patricians. Another, in reference to debt, stated that amounts already paid by way of interest had to be deducted from the capital, and the remaining sum was to be paid in three equal instalments over a three-year period. A third set a limit on lands, prohibiting anyone from holding more than 500 iugera (125 ha). The fourth placed an end to the election of tribuni militum consulari potestate and stated that one of the consuls always had to be a plebeian.
