law
Lex Antonia de tertia decuria
the third-decury law
also: lex de tertia decuria, tertia decuria, third decury
Antony's promulgated law of 44 BC adding a third panel of jurors drawn from centurions and even common soldiers of the Alauda legion. Cicero attacks it in Philippic 1 as undoing Caesar's own jury legislation and corrupting the courts.
Reading notes
- First Philippic §19 third decury
Antony's promulgated law adding a third jury-panel of centurions and even rank-and-file soldiers, which Cicero argues overturns Caesar's own jury law restricting the panels to senators and knights.
