Ex variis lectionibus libri
Ex libro II
Dig. 1,8,11Pomponius libro secundo ex variis lectionibus. Si quis violaverit muros, capite punitur, sicuti si quis transcendet scalis admotis vel alia qualibet ratione. nam cives Romanos alia quam per portas egredi non licet, cum illud hostile et abominandum sit: nam et Romuli frater remus occisus traditur ob id, quod murum transcendere voluerit.
Pomponius, From Various Passages, Book II. Where anyone trespasses upon the walls, he is punished with death; just as where anyone climbs over them by means of ladders, or in any other manner; since Roman citizens are not permitted to leave a city except by the gates; as the former is an act of hostility and abominable. It is said that Remus, the brother of Romulus, was killed because he wished to scale the wall.
