Note 157 — Chapter I · THE EARLIEST CONSTITUTION OF ROME

In business we have leges locationis, venditionis, in the structure of corporations a lex collegii. On the other hand, in the legum dictio of augury, which is the statement of the mode of the answer of the gods to a request, in the lex data given to individuals by a magistrate (e.g. the leges censoriae) or granted by Rome as a charter to a subject state, there seems to be the idea of a purely one-sided ordinance.
