Tosspot is a British people British slang insult, which can mean, depending on the context, a drunkard , a masturbator , or an objectionable person. The word is of Middle English origin, and, until recently, meant exclusively a person who drank heavily. Beer or ale was customarily served in ceramic pottery pots , so a tosspot was a person who copiously tossed back such pots of beer. The word tosspots appears in relation to drunkenness in the song which closes Shakespeare s Twelfth Night . ref Shakespeare, William, Twelfth Night , 5.1. ref The morality play Like Will to Like , by Shakespeare s contemporary Ulpian Fulwell , contains a character named Tom Tosspot, who remarks that If any poore man have in a whole week earned a groat grote , He shal spend it in one houre in tossing the pot . ref Citation last Fulwell first Ulpian title Like Will to Like url http www.umm.maine.edu faculty necastro drama tudor lwtl.html . ref This meaning is losing currency, as tosspot is now often used synonymously with tosser or wanker to mean literally a man who masturbates tosses his penis , or by extension somebody who is obnoxious, irritating or ridiculous. This assumed meaning is because of the similarity with tosser and with words like sexpot which designate a person as a pot . Dictionaries generally acknowledge both meanings of tosspot . More recently, tosspot has become synonymous with idiot.

The Law of Citations Lex citationum was a Roman law created in AD 426 by the emperor Theodosius II . It was designed to help judges deal with vast amounts of jurist writings on a subject and thus to reach a decision. According to the legal historian Alan Watson , This Law of Citations marks a low point of Roman jurisprudence , since it declares the correct opinion is to be found by counting heads, not by choosing the best solution. ref Alan Watson, The Law of the Ancient Romans Dallas Southern Methodist University, 1970 , p. 91. ref Authority was given to Ulpian us, Gaius jurist Gaius , Paul jurist Paulus , Papinian us and Herennius Modestinus Modestinus as they were some of the outstanding jurists of the classical period. Quotations used by these jurists were also given authority. If there was a conflict between the jurists, the majority view would prevail. In the event of an even number of views on each side, the view of Papinianus would be applied. If Papinianus expressed no opinion, the judge would then be free to use his own judgement.

In the Roman Empire , the dediticii were one of the three classes of Freedman libertini . The dediticii existed as a class of persons who were neither slave s, nor Roman citizen cives , nor Latini , at least as late as the time of Ulpian . Their civil condition was formed by analogy to the condition of a conquered people, who did not individually lose their freedom, but as a community lost all political existence. In the case of the Volsci , Livy inclines to the opinion that the four thousand who were sold, were slaves, and not dediti . The Lex Aelia Sentia provided that, if a slave was put in bonds by his master as a punishment, or branded, or put to the torture for an offence and convicted, or delivered up to fight with wild beasts, or sent into a ludus gladiator ius , or put in confinement custodia , and then manumitted either by his then owner, or by another owner, he merely acquired the status of a peregrinus dediticius , and had not even the privileges of a Latinus . The peregrini dediticii were those who, in former times, had taken up arms against the Roman people, and being conquered, had surrendered themselves. They were, in fact, a people who were absolutely subdued, and yielded unconditionally to the conquerors, and, of course, had no other relation to Rome than that of subjects.

The Deipnosophists is a long work of literary and antiquarian research by the Hellenistic civilization Hellenistic author Athenaeus of Naucratis in Egypt, written in Rome in the early 3rd century AD. The protagonist is Ulpian, the host of a leisurely banquet whose main purpose is literary, historical and antiquarian conversation. Characters include grammarian s, lexicographer s, jurist s, musicians and hangers on. Contents The Deipnosophistae professes to be an account given by the author to his friend Timocrates of a series of banquets apparently three held at the house of Larensius, a scholar and wealthy patron of art. It is thus a dialogue within a dialogue, after the manner of Plato , although each conversation is so long that, realistically, it would occupy several days. Among the twenty nine guests, Galen , Ulpian and Plutarch are named, but all are probably to be taken as fictitious personages, and the majority take little or no part in the conversation. If Ulpian is identical with the famous jurist, the Deipnosophistae must have been written after his death in 223 but the jurist was murdered by the praetorian guard s, whereas Ulpian in Athenaeus dies a natural death. The work is invaluable for providing fictionalized information about the Hellenistic literary world of the leisured class during the Roman Empire . To the majority of modern readers, even more useful is the wealth of information provided in the Deipnosophists about earlier Greek literature.

Quintus Pedius Paulus or Paullus 50 120 was a jurist of the Roman Empire . Paulus was of the gens Pedius , who were Romans of consular rank. His cognomen Paulus suggests he could related to the gens Aemilius . Paulus was a contemporary to the Ancient Rome Roman jurist Massurius Sabinus . He is known from the writings of Pomponius . Paulus original and independent ideas are only known from the quotations from the Roman jurists Paul jurist Julius Paulus , Ulpian Domitius Ulpianus and Julian . The quotations have survived because the works were not directly accepted in the Pandects Digest . Paulus was the legal author of extensive commentary on the edicts or proclamations on the Praetorian Guard and aedile . Paulus had written two legal publications, which were the Libri ad Edictum which Julius Paulus quotes the twenty fifth passage and Libri de Stipulationibus . In the Libri de Stipulationibus , Paulus demonstrates that he had the true, right perception and understanding of legal interpretation. At one instance, Paulus states in a passage as quoted by Julius Paulus It is best not to scrutinize the proper signification of words, but mainly what the testator has intended to declare in the next place, what is the opinion of those who live in each district. In another passage from the Libri de Stipulationibus as quoted by Domitius Ulpianus, Paulus observes That when one or two things are introduced by a lex law , it is a good ground for supplying the rest which tends to the same useful purpose by interpretation, or at least by jurisdiction.
