The Murder of Lucius Pedanius Secundus by a Slave
The best case that we've got which talks about this law is the murder of lucius pedanius secundus, as recorded in the great trajanic historian. We are well into period with tacitus. Well, tacitus is the only source that talks about this example. And i guess it's because it's so extreme. But then again, you know, why did no other historian talk about it?
