The grain law of the consuls M. Terentius Varro Lucullus and C. Cassius Longinus, 73 BC, regulating the purchase of additional Sicilian grain (the frumentum emptum and the second tithe) above what the lex Hieronica required. Verres's abuse of the requisitions made under it is the burden of In Verrem 2.3.
