Lex Pompeia
Lex Pompeia DE VI, a privilegium relating to the trial of Milo by a quaestio extraordinaria for killing Clodius, though there was a permanent commission for trying offences of this class (Cic. Phil. 2.9, 22): it also seems to have contained some general provisions as to the procedure and penalty in cases of violence (Ascon.; and Schol. Bob. pro Milone: cf. Wächter's note, cited by Orelli, Cicero, vol. viii. pp. 247-250, and Walter, Geschichte des röm. Rechts, § 834, note 7).
