The Lex Aelia et Fufia (the Aelian and Fufian Law) was established around the year 150 BC in the Roman Republic.Cicero. Phil. II.32, pro Sestio, 15, ad Att. II.9 The presumed subject of this legislation was the extension of the right of obnuntiatio, that is, reporting unfavorably concerning the omens observed at the Legislative Assemblies, thus forcing an end to public business until the next lawful day. This right, previously reserved to the College of Augurs, was extended to all of the magistrates, thus denying a key political advantage to politicians who were members of that College.Lily Ross Taylor, Party Politics in the Age of Caesar (1948) This law was repealed in 58 BC by the Leges Clodiae.
