Tappŭla Lex

A sort of drinking formulary drawn up as a burlesque of legal forms, written by a Roman humourist named Valerius Valentinus (Fest. 363; Val. Max. viii. 1, 8). A similar pot-house formula was found at Vercelli in 1882 on a bronze tablet (a fragment only). It is given in fac-simile in the Bull. Arch. for 1882 (p. 186). Cf. Mommsen in the Arch. Zeit. xl. 176. Still another lex convivialis will be found printed in Bücheler's edition of Petronius, p. 239 (Berlin, 1882).
