Talk:Lex Equitia de constitutione corrigenda (Nova Roma)

General commentary

This lex was advertised as a tidying-up exercise and was said to make no substantive changes to the text, changing only spelling, grammar, and other minor details. This description was largely correct, but in fact a number of minor mistakes remained and on the other hand a change was made (probably unintentionally) to the substance of chapter IV.A.

Also, in spite of its billing as a tidying-up exercise, this was arguably the first occasion on which the text universally accepted as the authentic constitution had actually been enacted by a lawful procedure.
