De lege Iulia ambitus
(Concerning the Julian Law With Reference to the Unlawful Seeking of Office.)
1Modestinus, On Punishments, Book II. This law is not at present in force at Rome, because the creation of magistrates is part of the duty of the Emperor, and does not depend upon the favor of the people. 1If anyone in a municipality should violate this law by soliciting either a political or a sacerdotal office, he is by a Decree of the Senate punished by a fine of a hundred aurei, and infamy. 2If anyone condemned under this law convicts another, he shall be entirely restored to his rights, but his money will not be returned. 3Likewise, he who establishes a new tax is liable to this penalty by the Decree of the Senate. 4If either an accused person, or an accuser, enters the house of his judge, he commits an unlawful act according to the Julian Law relating to Judges; that is to say, he will be ordered to pay a hundred aurei to the Treasury.
