The ius liberorum, established by the Augustus' legislation of marriage could have been held by members of the elite but non Roman citizens. The case of the lex Irnitana is compared to the boulai of n Egypt introduced by Severus.

Why is it important?
Could be a possibility to be taken into account instead of assuming that a woman who vested this ius liberorum was a Roman citizen merely for this fact
Perspectives
