Lex Malacitana

Lex Malacitana
Location Spain Edit this at Wikidata

Lex Malacitana or Lex Flavia Malacitana is a latin local statutes which deal with the official activities of the duoviri iuri dicundo.[1] It was found in the XX century on a bronze tablet near Malaca with the Lex Salpensana,[2][3] and it was dated from AD 81-84.[4] Malaca was governed under this law, which granted free-born persons the privileges of Roman citizenship.[5]

Together with the Lex Salpensana and the Lex Irnitana it provides the most complete version of the lex Flavia municipalis, or the Flavian municipal law.[6][7] and has allowed new insights into the workings of Roman law.[8] The tablets are exhibited in the Archeological Museum of Seville.[6] Since the tablets provide the only surviving copy of large parts of the Flavian municipal law, they have provided new insights into the procedural side of municipal courts.[9]

In December 2016 a petition to Congreso de los Diputados was offered to give it back to the Museo de Málaga.[10] The Ministerio de Cultura studied the case,[11] and on 12 March 2018 Spanish Government denied it.[12]
