The ''Lex Titia'' was a Roman law passed on November 27, 43 BC, that legalized the Second Triumvirate of Octavian, Mark Antony, and Marcus Aemilius Lepidus. The ''Lex Titia'' gave this "three-man commission for restoring the constitution of the republic" (''triumviri rei publicae constituendae'') the power to make or annul laws without approval from either the Senate or the people; insulated their judicial decisions from appeal, and allowed the Triumvirs to name magistrates at will. Although the constitutional machinery of the Republic was not irrevocably dismantled by the ''Lex Titia'', in the event it never recovered. Lepidus was sidelined early in the triumvirate, and Antony was eliminated in civil war, leaving Octavian the sole leader. The passing of the ''Lex Titia'' marked the ''de jure'' end of the Roman Republic, though in practice it had already been almost completely subverted by the contending parties in the civil war that was then beginning. The law, ostensibly only a temporary measure, was renewed in 38 BC, but quarrels between Octavian and Antony after the downfall of Lepidus in 36 BC prevented the law from being further extended, leading to the expiration of the ''Lex Titia'' in 33 BC and the ensuing Final War of the Roman Republic. == Relevant articles == *Roman Law *List of Roman laws *Enabling Act 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lex Titia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
