chapter 4

§ 10.

[1399] This significant hint seems to have been almost normal in such petitions. A good instance is the petition of Scaptoparene (see index, _Inscriptions_).

[1400] It is perhaps worth noting that under Commodus the transport of corn from Africa was specially provided for by the creation of a _classis Africana_ for that purpose. See Lamprid _Commodus_ 17 §§ 7, 8.

[1401] De Coulanges pp 10 foll deals with this point at length, but I think he pushes his conclusions too far.

[1402] Cf the Aragueni (see index, _Inscriptions_) παροίκων καὶ γεωργῶν τῶν ὑμετέρων.

[1403] Dig I 19 § 3¹ is of a later date, but refers to a protective rescript of Antoninus Pius. Cf XLIX 14 § 47¹, L 6 § 6¹¹. See Schulten in _Hermes_ XLI pp 11-16.

[1404] CIL VIII 14428.

[1405] _[domum rev]ertamur ubi libere morari possimus._

[1406] Seneca _ad Helviam_ 7 § 7 _ubicumque vicit Romanus habitat_.
