Lex Poetelia Papiria

The Lex Poetelia Papiria was a law passed in Ancient Rome that abolished the contractual form of Nexum, or debt bondage.[1] Livy dates the law in 326 BC, during the third consulship of Gaius Poetelius Libo Visolus,[2] whereas Varro dates the law in 313 BC, during Poetelius' dictatorship.[3]
