The bona caduca were those portions of inheritance or those legacies denied to heirs or legatees who were deemed celibates by the lex Iulia de maritandis ordinibus (18 bce). With the approval of the lex Papia Poppaea (9 ce), these penalties were partially extended to the orbi. Under the sole enforcement of the lex Iulia, the bona caduca increased the portions of other heirs and were claimed by the treasury (aerarium) only if the inheritance was “vacant.” However, due to a provision in the lex Papia, they were henceforth instead primarily assigned to the patres and secondarily to the treasury.

Abstract
The bona caduca were those portions of inheritance or those legacies denied to heirs or legatees who were deemed celibates by the lex Iulia de maritandis ordinibus (18 bce). With the approval of the lex Papia Poppaea (9 ce), these penalties were partially extended to the orbi. Under the sole enforcement of the lex Iulia, the bona caduca increased the portions of other heirs and were claimed by the treasury (aerarium) only if the inheritance was “vacant.” However, due to a provision in the lex Papia, they were henceforth instead primarily assigned to the patres and secondarily to the treasury.File in questo prodotto:
