[412] This rule is said to have been taken from a law of Solon’s (Gaius in Dig. 47, 22, 4). Other traces of Greek influence are perhaps to be found in the sumptuary regulations, especially those about funerals, and perhaps in the prohibition of interment within the city. Gaius finds also a Solonian parallel to the actio finium regundorum ordained by the law (Dig. 10, 1, 13).
[413] Liv. vii. 17 “in duodecim tabulis legem esse, ut quodcumque postremum populus jussisset, id jus ratumque esset.”
[414] Liv. iii. 53.
[415] ib. 54 “ibi extemplo, pontifice maximo comitia habente, tribunos plebis creaverunt.”
[416] ib. “Confestim de consulibus creandis cum provocatione M. Duilius rogationem pertulit.” Such a resolution would not need confirmation by the people, as, after the fall of the decemvirs, an interregnum would naturally ensue; and this was a matter for the Senate. But Livy also represents the tribune as (in accordance with a senatus consultum) passing the act of amnesty, iii. 54 “Tribunatu inito, L. Icilius extemplo plebem rogavit, et plebs scivit, ne cui fraudi esset secessio ab decemviris facta.” In later Roman law amnesty resides with the Senate.
