Dig. 27,1,18Ulpianus libro vicensimo ad legem Iuliam et Papiam. Bello amissi ad tutelae excusationem prosunt: quaesitum est autem, qui sunt isti, utrum hi, qui in acie sunt interempti an vero omnes omnino, qui per causam belli parentibus sunt abrepti, in obsidione forte. melius igitur probabitur eos solos, qui in acie amittuntur, prodesse debere, cuiuscumque sexus vel aetatis sint: hi enim pro re publica ceciderunt.
Ulpianus, On the Lex Julia et Papia, Book XX. Where children are lost in war, this fact affords a valid excuse for release from guardianship. A question arose, however, as to who these children are, whether they are such as are killed in battle, or whether they include all those who are taken from their parents on account of war; as, for instance, those lost in a siege. The preferable opinion is that only those who are killed in battle, without reference to their sex or age, should afford a valid cause for release, for they have lost their lives for their country.
