description

Abstract Normally the ius liberorum is associated with Roman citizens, but in the lex Irnitana we have evidence of non-Roman members of the curial class of Baetica who took advantage of this privilege. In Roman Egypt, the constitution of the boulai in the nome capitals could have provided a similar context for the selection of local elites in which Romanized Egyptians obtained that privilege.
