[40] Cf. Ulpian, Tit., vi, 6: Divortio facto, si quidem sui juris sit muller, ipsa habet rei uxoriae actionem, id est, dotis repetitionem; quodsi in potestate patris sit, pater adiuncta filiae persona habet actionem. The technical recognition of the father's power was still strong. Cf. Pliny, _Panegyricus_, 38: Tu quidem, Caesar ... intuitus, opinor, vim legemque naturae, quae semper in dicione parentum esse liberos iussit. The same writer, on requesting Trajan to give citizenship to the children of a certain freedman, is careful to add the specification that they are to remain in their father's power--see Pliny to Trajan, xi (vi).

[55] Note the rescript of Alexander Severus to a certain Aquila (Codex, ii, 18, 13): Quod in uxorem tuam aegram erogasti, non a socero repetere, sed adfectioni tuae debes expendere. [56] See, e.g., Dig., 47, 10, and Ulpian, ibid., 48, 14, 27. [57] Cf. Gaius, i, 141: In summa admonendi sumus, adversus eos, quos in mancipio habemus, nihil nobis contumeliose facere licere; alioquin iniuriarum (actione) tenebimur. [58] Paulus, i, 21, 13. [59] Paulus, i, 21, 14. [60] Codex, ii, 11, 15 [61] Paulus in Dig., iii, 2, 9. [62] Aulus Gellius, xvii, 6, speech of Cato: Principio vobis mulier magnam dotem adtulit; tum magnam pecuniam recipit, quam in viri potestatem non committit, ean pecuniam viro mutuam dat; postea, ubi irata facta est, servum recepticum sectari atque flagitare virum iubet. [63] Paulus in Dig., 23, 3, 2. [64] Pomponius in Dig., 24, 3, 1. [65] Ulpian in Dig., 23, 3, 7. [66] Tryfoninus in Dig., 23, 3, 75. [67] Gaius, ii, 63. Paulus, ii, 21b. [68] E.g. Juvenal, vi, 136-141. Martial, viii, 12. [69] Apuleius _Apologia_, 523: Pleraque tamen rei familiaris in nomen uxoris callidissima fraude confert, etc.; id., 545, 546 proves further the power of the wife: ea condicione factam conjunctionem, si nullis a me susceptis liberis vita demigrasset, ut dos omnis, etc.--evidently the woman was dictating the disposal of her dowry.
