Lex Acilia repetundarum

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lex Acilia Repetundarum was a law established in ancient Rome in 123 BC.

It provides for equites as jurors in courts overseeing senatorial class to prevent corruption abroad. It was extremely unpopular since the inferior class judges the senatorial. It was believed to be part of Gauis Gracchus' measures, suggesting that Gaius carried his chief judicial act in another tribune's name.
