Lex Mamilia

Lex Mamilia DE COLONIIS. It was supposed that Rudorff had proved (Zeitschrift, 9.12) that the Lex Mamilia, Roscia, Peducaea, Alliena, Fabia, is the same as the Lex agraria quam Gaius Caesar tulit (Dig. 47, 21, 3), and that this Gaius Caesar is the Emperor Caligula. But Mommsen (Schriften der röm. Feldmesser, ii. p. 223) believes that the so-called Lex Mamilia related to the appointment of C. Julius Caesar's agrarian commission: and this seems to be confirmed by the discovery of the Lex Coloniae Genetivae.
