A new assessment of the importance of the lex Aquilia (wrongful damage to property) on Roman law in BritainFew topics have had a more profound impact on the study of Roman law in Britain than the lex Aquilia, a Roman statute enacted c.287/286 BCE to reform the Roman law on wrongful damage to property.
