MANCIPIUM,

& MANCUPIUM; A Sale, or Alienation which took place among no other than Citizens of Rome only. Mancipi∣um was a peculiar Right of Propriety, which the Citizens of Rome, and those to whom it was granted, in respect to some Lands in Italy, enjoy∣ed alone, wherein were observed some Formali∣ties relating to the Ballance and Tale of Money-Multae sunt domus in hac Ʋrbe, atque haud scio, a•• pene cunctae, jure optimo; sed tamen jure privato, jure haereditario, jure auctoritatis, jure mancipî, jure nexi. There are divers Houses in Rome, which are, perhaps, Free-hold, but this Fran∣chise is founded upon a particular Right, not a publick One, upon a Right acquired by Succes∣sion of Inheritance, by Way of Prescription, by Right of Purchase; the Sale of such Houses ha∣ving passed with a Clause and Condition that is express and formal, in respect to such Franchise and Prerogative.
