Golden Ring Privileges and Restoration of Rights for Women

Passage 6558 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

Ulpian states that women are also eligible to obtain the privilege of golden rings and to be restored to their birth rights.

[ULPIANUS libro tertio ad legem Iuliam et Papiam. ] §40.10.4.prEtiam feminae ius anulorum aureorum impetrare et natalibus restitui poterunt.
[BY ULPIANUS, from the third book on the Lex Julia et Papia.] Women also will be able to obtain the privilege of golden rings and to be restored to their birth rights.

Notes

  1. §40.10.4.prnatalibus restitui — The passive present infinitive restitui is governed by the main verb poterunt, in parallel with the active present infinitive impetrare. The ablative plural natalibus (from natales, meaning birth or lineage) combined with restitui refers to the legal procedure of "being restored to one's birth rights," which granted a freed person the legal status of an ingenuus (freeborn).
