Lex Licinia Mucia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lex Licinia Mucia was a Roman law established in 95 BC by consuls Lucius Licinius Crassus and Quintus Mucius Scaevola Pontifex. Its purpose was to remove Latins and Italians from the citizen rolls by prosecution of all citizens who falsely claimed to have Roman citizenship.

This law caused general unrest and as a main reason resulted in the Social War.
