LEGES TABELLARIAE. 236 LEGES VALERIAE.
of entertainments, but the kind and quantity
of food that was to be used.
Antia, of uncertain date, proposed by An-
tius Resto, besides limiting the expenses of
entertainments, enacted that no actual ma-
gistrate, or magistrate elect, should dine
abroad anywhere except at the houses of
certain persons. This law however was little
observed; and we are told that Antius never
dined out afterwards, that he might not see
his own law violated.
Julia, proposed by the dictator C. Julius
Caesar, enforced the former sumptuary laws
respecting entertainments which had fallen
into disuse. He stationed officers in the
provision market to seize upon all eatables
forbidden by the law, and sometimes sent
lictors and soldiers to banquets to take every-
thing which was not allowed by the law.
Julia, a lex of Augustus, allowed 200 ses-
terces to be expended upon festivals on dies
profesti, 300 on those of the calends, ides,
nones, and some other festive days, and 1000
upon marriage feasts. There was also an
edict of Augustus or Tiberius, by which as
much as from 300 to 2000 sesterces were
allowed to be expended upon entertainments,
the increase being made with the hope of se-
curing thereby the observance of the law.
Tiberius attempted to check extravagance in
banquets; and a senatuseonsultum was passed
in his reign for the purpose of restraining
luxury, which forbade gold vases to be em-
ployed, except for sacred purposes, and also
prohibited the use of silk garments to men.
This sumptuary law, however, was but little
observed. Some regulations on the subject
were also made by Nero and by succeeding
emperors, but they appear to have been of
little or no avail in checking the increasing
love of luxury in dress and food.
TABELLARIAE, the laws by which the
ballot was introduced in voting in the comi-
tia. As to the ancient mode of voting at
Rome, see Comitia, p. 107.
Gabinia, proposed by the tribune Gabi-
nius b. c. 139, introduced the ballot in the
election of magistrates ; whence Cicero calls
the tabella vindcx tacitae Ubertatis.
Cassia, proposed by the tribune L. Cassius
Longinus b. c. 137, introduced the ballot in
the judicium populi, or cases tried in the
comitia by the whole body of the people, with
the exception of cases of perduellio.
Papieia, proposed by the tribune C. Papi-
rius Carbo, b. c. 131, introduced the ballot
in the enactment and repeal of laws.
Caelia, proposed by C. Caelius Caldus,
b. c. 107, introduced the ballot in cases of
perduellio, which had been excepted in the
Cassian law. There was also a law brought
forward by Marius, b. c. 119, which was in-
tended to secure freedom and order in voting.
TARPEIA ATERXIA. [Aternia Tarpeia.]
TERENTILIA, proposed by the tribune C.
Terentilius, b. c. 462, but not carried, was a
rogatio which had for its object an amend-
ment of the constitution, though in form it
only attempted a limitation of the imperium
consulare. This rogatio probably led to the
subsequent legislation of the decemviri.
TESTAMEXTARIAE. Various leges, such
as the Cornelia, Falcidia, Furia, and Voco-
nia, regulated testamentary dispositions.
TIIORIA, passed b. c. 121, concerned the
public land in Italy as far as the rivers Ru-
bico and Macra, or all Italy except Cisalpine
Gaul, the public land in the province of
Africa, the public land in the territory of
Corinth, and probably other public land be-
sides. It relieved a great part of the public
land of the land-tax [vectigal). Some consi-
derable fragments of this lex have come down
to us, engraved on the back part of the same
bronze tablet which contained the Servilia
Lex Judiciaria, and on Repetundae.
TITIA, similar in its provisions to the Lex
Publicia.
TITIA, Dj. Tutoribus. [Julia et Titia.]
TREBOXIA, a plebiscitimi proposed by L.
Trebonius, b. c. 44S, which enacted that if
the ten tribunes were not chosen before the
comitia were dissolved, those who were elected
should not fill up the number (co-optare), but
that the comitia should be continued till the
ten were elected.

ARIBUS. (Plut. Cat. Min. 43 ; Liv. Epit.

TRIBUXITIA. (1) A law passed in the
times of the kings under the presidency of
the tribunus celerum, and was so called to
distinguish it from one passed under the pre-
sidency of the king. [Lex Regia.]—(2)
Any law proposed by a tribune of the plebs.
—(3) The law proposed by Pompey in b. c.
70, restoring to the tribunes of the plebs the
power of which they had been deprived by
Sulla.

VALERIAE, proposed by the consul P.
Valerius Puhlicola, b. c. 508, enacted, 1.
That whoever attempted to obtain possession
of royal power should be devoted to the gods,
together with his substance. 2. That
whoever was condemned by the sentence of
a magistrate to be put to death, to be
scourged, or to be fined, should possess the
right of appeal (provocatio) to the people.
The patricians possessed previously the right
of entertainments, but the kind and quantity
of food that was to be used.
