Latini Juniani

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.

Lat.

In Roman law. A class of freedmen (libertini) 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 manumission, were called "Latini." 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 Lex Junia Norbana, A. D. 19, from which law they took the name of "Juniani" in addition to that of "Latini." Brown.
