Lex Junia

Lex Junia DE PEREGRINIS, or JUNIA PENNI, a plebiscitum of M. Junius Pennus, B.C. 126, expelling peregrini from the city (Cic. de Off. 3.1. 1, 47; Brut. 28, 109). By a Lex Fannia (possibly merely an edict of the Consul Fannius) B.C. 122, Latins and Italians were similarly treated (Appian, App. BC 1.23; Plut. C. Gracchus, 12; Cic. Brut. 26, 100, pro Sest. 13, 31), as were all persons who had not an Italian domicile by a Lex Papia, B.C. 65 (D. C. 38.9; Cic. in Rull. 1.4, 11; de Off. loc. cit.; ad Att. 4.16).
