Lex Duilia Maenia

Lex Duilia Maenia DE UNCIARIO FENORE, B.C. 357, establishing or confirming a rate of interest at 8 3/4 per cent. (12 unciae to 100 asses) per annum (Liv. 7.16, 19). The same tribunes Duilius and Maenius carried a measure for the prevention of such unconstitutional proceedings as the enactment of a lex by the soldiers out of Rome on the consul's proposal (Liv. 7.16: see Mommsen, Römisches Staatsrecht, i. p. 69, note 2).
