Passage 199 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

States that proconsuls are not permitted to use more than six fasces.

[ULPIANUS libro uicensimo ad legem Iuliam et Papiam. ] §1.16.14.prProconsules non amplius quam sex fascibus utuntur.
[ULPIANUS, from the twentieth book On the Lex Julia et Papia.] Proconsuls do not use more than six fasces.

Notes

  1. §1.16.14.prsex fascibus utuntur — The verb utor (to use) governs the ablative case, hence the noun fasces appears in the plural ablative form fascibus. The comparative expression non amplius quam (not more than) is inserted without affecting this case government.
