Lex Mamilia

Lex Mamilia FINIUM REGUNDORUM (B.C. 110, Ernesti; B.C. 165, Pighius) re-enacted the provision of the Twelve Tables, that a space of 5 ft. along the boundaries of landed estates (extending 2 1/2 ft. into each) should be excluded from usucapio, and ordained a new procedure in cases of dispute (Cic. de Leg. 1.2. 1, 55; Rudorff; Gränzscheidungsklage, Zeitschrift, x. pp. 355-363).
