Lex Icilia
Lex Icilia DE AVENTINO PUBLICANDO, a plebiscitum proposed by L. Icilius, B.C. 456, granting the Aventine, hitherto possessed by the patricians, as a dwelling-place to the plebs, who thereby acquired a right to the buildings which they erected on it (Liv. 3.31, 32; Dionys. A. R. 10.31, 32; cf. Niebuhr, Rom. Hist. 2.301: and see SUPERFICIES).
