Lex Papiria
Lex Papiria or JULIA PAPIRIA DE MULTARUM AESTIMATIONE, B.C. 430, substituted money fines for those of cattle and sheep fixed by the Lex Aternia Tarpeia, a sheep being valued at ten, a bullock at a hundred asses (Liv. 4.30; Cic. de Rep. 2.35). Gellius (11.1) and Festus are wrong in making this change a part of the Lex Aternia Tarpeia itself.
