They suggest that the leges were used broadly, practically and flexibly in disputes, and were not seen as official, royally endorsed law. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: © 2020 Institute of Historical Research. item: Historical Research holder: Oxford University Press / USA dt: @attributes: year: 2013 holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
