Latium maius

The term "majus Latium" refers to a right of Roman citizenship granted to individuals holding a magistracy in a territory outside of Rome, as well as to their immediate family members. This concept is rooted in the ancient region of Latium, which was central to the development of Rome. Roman law, which evolved from 753 BCE to the fall of the Western Empire, significantly influenced Western legal systems and forms the basis for many modern civil law codes. The Romans distinguished between written law (jus scriptum), derived from legislation and other written sources, and unwritten law (jus non scriptum), which was custom. Early Roman law included enactments from assemblies and resolutions of the Senate, with the Twelve Tables being a foundational piece of legislation from 451–450 BCE.1234
