Lex Caecilia Didia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Lex Caecilia Didia was an important law introduced in 98 BC by the consuls Quintus Caecilius Metellus Nepos and Titus Didius. It redefined certain aspects of legislative procedure, including the rule that infringement of the auspices caused by the neglect of omens rendered legislation invalid. Omnibus bills were also ruled out. Decisions about whether legislation was incompatible with the lex rested with the senate.
