Bouvier's Law Dictionary and Concise Encyclopedia

Such freedmen as enjoyed their liberty tuitione prcetoris, and who, under the Lex Junia Norhana, were made legally free, their freedom, however, being only of the kind enjoyed by the latini coloniarii. They possessed only the fua commcrcU and not the jua connubii, and even in regard to the former they were restricted. In that they had the commeroium inter vivoa, but not the commeroium mortia cauaa. They could neltiier make a will nor take anything under a will, and when a latinua junianua died, his property reverted to his master as though he had remained a slave all his life. The privilege of Roman citizenship conferred upon the latini coloniarii did not include the latini juniani.

See Sohm, Rom. L. § 22.
