Fex urbis lex orbis : ウィキペディア英語版 | Fex urbis lex orbis
''Fex urbis lex orbis'' is a Latin saying, meaning "Dregs (Latin ''faex'' ) of the city, law of the world", that is, the lowest class of citizens determines how the world works. First written by St. Jerome, the phrase is often erroneously attributed to Victor Hugo, who quotes it ironically at the beginning of Volume V of ''Les Misérables'' while advising one to be careful in labeling social groups:〔Victor Hugo, ''Les Misérables''〕 ==Notes==
