[Footnote 208: Cic. _de Off_. i. 17. 54.] [Footnote 209: i.e. ius commercii and ius connubii: the former enabling a man to claim the protection of the courts in all cases relating to property, the latter to claim the same protection in cases of disputed inheritance.] [Footnote 210: i.e. ius provocationis, ius suffragii, ius honorum.] [Footnote 211: This is how I understand Cuq, _Institutions juridiques des Romains_, p. 223. In the well known Laudatio Turiae we have a curious case of a re-marriage by coemptio with manus, for a particular purpose, connected of course with money matters. See Mommsen's Commentary, reprinted in his _Gesammelte Schriften_, vol. i.] [Footnote 212: Westermarck, _History of Human Marriage_, ch. x.] [Footnote 213: See, however, the curious passage quoted by Gellius (iv. 4. 2) from Serv. Sulpicius, the great jurist (above, p. 118 foll.), on _sponsalia_ in Latium down to 89 B.C.] [Footnote 214: For the other details of the dress, see Marq. _Privatleben_, p. 43.] [Footnote 215: Cic. _de Div._ i. 16. 28.] [Footnote 216: These lines suggested to Virgil the famous four at the end of the fourth Eclogue. See _Virgil's "Messianic Eclogue_," p. 72.] [Footnote 217: She was addressed as _domina_, by all members of the family. See Marquardt, _Privatleben_, p. 57 note 3. It should be noted that she had brought a contribution to the family resources in the form of a dowry (dos) given her by her father to maintain her position.] [Footnote 218: These details are drawn chiefly from the sixth book of Valerius Maximus, _de Pudicitia_.] [Footnote 219: This is proved by an allusion to Cato's speech in support of the law, in Gellius, _Noct. Att._ vi. 13.] [Footnote 220: Livy xxxiv. 1 foll., where the speech of Cato is reproduced in Livy's language and with "modern" rhetoric.] [Footnote 221: De Marchi, _op. cit._ p. 163; Marq. _Privatleben_, p. 87 foll. Confarreatio was only dissoluble by diffarreatio, but this was perhaps used only for penal purposes. Other forms of marriage did not present the same difficulty, not being of a sacramental character.] [Footnote 222: Plutarch, _Aem. Paull._ 5.] [Footnote 223: Livy xl. 37.] [Footnote 224: Livy, _Epit._ 48.] [Footnote 225: Livy xxxix. 8-18.] [Footnote 226: Plutarch, _Cato the Elder_ 8.] [Footnote 227: Gellius (x. 23) quotes a fragment of Cato's speech de Dotibus, in which the following sentences occur: "Si quid perverse taetreque factum est a muliere, multitatur: si vinum bibit, si cum alieno viro probri quid fecerit, condempnatur. In adulterio uxorem tuam si prehendisses sine indicio impune necares: illa te, si adulterares sive tu adulterarere, digito non auderet contingere, neque ius est." Under such circumstances a bold woman might take her revenge illegally.] [Footnote 228: Gellius i. 6; cp. Livy, Epit. 59.] [Footnote 229: e.g. _ad Fam._ xiv. 2.]
