EX TEMPORE/DOCTUS
The Lex Canuleia was passed in 445 BC and permitted intermarriage between plebeians and patricians, a practice earlier disallowed by the Twelve Tables.
The Licinio-Sextian Laws were passed in 367 BC and had the following parameters:
1. Citizens were limited on the amount of the ager publicus they could own (because of the phenomenon of senators purchasing huge amounts through proxies).
2. It allowed for one consul to be patrician and one consul to be plebeian every year, although this did not always occur in practice.
3. It restored the consulship after the period of the military tribunes.
The Lex Poetalia Papiria was passed in 326 (or 313, re: Varro) BC and prohibited imprisonment for debt, as well as prohibiting loans made on the credit of the borrower's liberty. (Nexum)
The Lex Ogulnia was passed in 296 BC and allowed access for plebeians to the highest priesthoods and were well represented in the college of the augurs.
The Lex Villia Annalis was passed in 180 BC and established minimum age limits for the curule magistracies. Consuls had to be 42 or older. It may also have imposed a minimum two-year interval between holding offices.
