No title preserved. A Lex Plaetoria (not Laetoria, RE, Supb. 7.398) to protect young men and minors from fraud is attested by Cicero (Off. 3.61; ND 3.74) and by the Lex Iulia Municipalis (line 112; termed Lex Laetoria in the oration of Claudius de aetate recuperatorum, FIRA 1.286). References to such legislation in Plautus (Pseud. 303f.; Rud. 1380-1382) have suggested that it precedes the date of the Pseudolus in 191 (Niccolini, FTP 400f.; Weiss, RE, Supb. 5.578; Buck, Chronology of the Plays of Plautus 4, 96, 105). See Bagnani, Phoenix 6 (1952) 73. (Broughton MRR II Appendix 2)
In MRR 2.472, refer also to F. Schultz, Roman Classical Law 191, who favors the name Laetorius.
