Lex Caecilia Didia
The ''Lex Caecilia Didia'' was a law put into effect by the consuls Q. Caecilius Metellus Nepos and Titus Didius in the year 98 BCE.〔Broughton, T. Robert S. ''The Magistrates of the Roman Republic''. Ed. Phillip H. Delacy. Vol II. New York: The American Philological Association, 1952. pp. 4.〕 This law had two provisions. The first was a minimum period between proposing a Roman law and voting on it, and the second was a ban of miscellaneous provisions in a single Roman law. This law was reinforced by the ''Lex Junia Licinia'' in 62 BC, an umbrella law introduced by Lucius Licinius Murena and Decimus Junius Silanus.〔Cicero, ''Philippics'' 5.8, ''Pro Sextio'' 64, ''In Vatinium'' 14, ''Ad Atticum'' 2.9.1 and 4.16.5; Bobbio Scholiast 140 (Stangl).〕
==Provisions==
The Bobbio Scholiast describes the first provision:〔Hildebrandt, P. ''Scholia In Ciceronis Orationes Bobiensia''. Stuttgart, Germany: B. G. Teubner, 1971. pp. 106.〕 "The Caecilian and Didian law decreed that the period of ''trinundium'' be observed for promulgating laws."〔''Caecilia est autem et Didia, quae iubebant in promulgandis legibus trinundium tempus observari.''〕 The ''Lex Caecilia Didia'', then, determined how much time had to be allowed between the publication of a law and its vote in the assembly.〔Berger, Adolf. ''Encyclopedic Dictionary of Roman Law''. ''Transactions of the American Philosophical Society'' Vol II, No. 43, 1953. pp. 548, 546.〕 The period of time designated by ''trinundium'' has been taken to mean either three Roman eight-day weeks (that is, 24 days) or ''tertiae nundinae'', on the third market-day (17 days).〔Lintot, A. W. ''Trinvndinvm''. ''The Classical Quarterly'' Vol 15, No 2, Nov. 1965. pp. 281-285.〕
The second provision of the ''Lex Caecilia Didia'' forbade ''leges saturae'', "stuffed" laws, which were statutes dealing with heterogeneous subject matters. This meant that in a single Roman bill, there could not be a collection of unrelated measures — what might in modern terms be called omnibus bills.〔 Cicero gave an interpretation of the law in his ''Oratio de domo sua'' ("Speech concerning His House") after his return from exile: "What other force, what other meaning, I should like to know, has the Caecilian and Didian law, except this; that the people are not to be forced in consequence of many different things being joined in one complicated bill."〔Cicero, Marcus Tullius. ''Oratio de Domo Sua''. 53.〕
