Lat. In Roman law. Aclass of freedmen (lidertini) intermediate between the two other classes of freedmen called, respectively,“ Cives Romani” and “Dediticii.” Slaves under thirty years of age at the date of their manumission, or manumitted otherwise than by vindicta, census, or testamentum, or not the quiritary property of their manumissors at the time of Inanumission, were ealled “ZLatint.” By reason of one or other of these three defects, they remained slaves by strict law even after their manumission, but were protected in their liberties first by equity, and eventually by the Zexw Junia Norbane, A. D. 19, from which law they tovk the name of “Juniané” in addition to that of “Latini.”
