LEX CANULEIA

The '''Lex Canuleia''' is a law of the Roman Republic passed in the year 445 BC. Named after the tribune Gaius Canuleius, who proposed it, it abolished a corresponding Twelve Tables prohibition, allowing marriage between patricians and plebeians, with children inheriting the father's class. The ''Lex Canuleia'' created the Equestrian or Knight class, the hybrid of patricians and plebians.
