Lex Clodia de exilio Ciceronis

Clodian law of exile

also: lex Clodia, Clodian law, his own law

The plebiscite carried by P. Clodius (tr. pl. 58 BC) interdicting Cicero from fire and water, which drove him into exile and which Clodius armed with self-protective clauses meant to make its abrogation legally hazardous. The recall debate of late 58 turned on how safely it could be repealed.
