Note 412 — Chapter II · THE GROWTH OF THE REPUBLICAN CONSTITUTION

This rule is said to have been taken from a law of Solon’s (Gaius in Dig. 47, 22, 4). Other traces of Greek influence are perhaps to be found in the sumptuary regulations, especially those about funerals, and perhaps in the prohibition of interment within the city. Gaius finds also a Solonian parallel to the actio finium regundorum ordained by the law (Dig. 10, 1, 13).
