Definition of municeps

municeps

Municeps is a word from Roman law that refers to two things:

A person who is a citizen of a municipality (a town or city with its own government).
A member of the council of a municipality.

Lucius is a municeps of Rome, which means he is a citizen of the city.
Julia was elected to be a municeps of her town's council.

These examples show how municeps can refer to both a citizen of a municipality and a member of its council. Lucius is a municeps because he lives in Rome and is a part of its community. Julia is a municeps because she was chosen by her fellow citizens to represent them in the town's government.

If we desire respect for the law, we must first make the law respectable.
