Lex Atinia

The lex Atinia may refer to one of several pieces of Roman legislation.

lex Atinia (197 BC)

The lex Atinia de usucapione was introduced by Gaius Atinius Labeo in 197 BC. The law dealt with usucaption, acquisition of a title or right to property by uninterrupted and undisputed possession for a prescribed term.[1]

The law prevented the acquisition of title by continued possession of stolen goods.[2][3] Aulus Gellius (17.7) quotes it and cites its meaning.[4]

lex Atinia (Late Second Century BC)

The lex Atinia de tribunis plebis in senatum legendis was a law dealing with the enrollment of tribunes of the plebs into the senate. there is much debate about its exact date and provisions.[5] It probably entitled the holders of the office to sit in the senate as a tribuniscius and a presumptive inclusion for the next senatorial lectio.[6]
