Lex Malacitana or Lex Flavia Malacitana (" Flavian law of Malaca") is a bronze tablet bearing Latin local statutes which deal with the official activities of the duoviri iuri dicundo . The tablet was found in the 20th century near Malaca (modern Málaga ) with the lex Salpensana , and it was dated from AD 81–84, i.e. the early reign of Domitian . Malaca was governed under this law, which granted free-born persons the privileges of Roman citizenship .

The house where the tablets were located appears to have been a bronzesmith workshop, to which they might have been moved for melting, probably around the 3rd to 4th century. The discovery of the tablets altered the landscape of Hispanic municipal laws, confirming the existence of a model law, the "Flavia", from which different municipalities would have drawn their respective copies. Due to its greater length,
276-624: A deceased individual are destroyed. Looking at cases of damnatio memoriae in modern Irish history, Guy Beiner has argued that iconoclastic vandalism only makes martyrs of the "dishonored", thus ensuring that they will be remembered for all time. Nonetheless, Beiner goes on to argue that the purpose of damnatio memoriae —rather than being to erase people from history—was to guarantee only negative memories of those who were so dishonored. Pointing out that damnatio memoriae did not erase people from history but in effect kept their memory alive, Beiner concluded that those who partake in

The character of federated cities, which could use their own legal system, is evident in the fact that citizens of Malaca could present their candidates for local aediles without taking into account imperial designations. The tablets also mention aspects related to the imperial cult . This article about Roman law

Punctuation marks appear as small triangles placed somewhat haphazardly. Traces of white paint remain, which

The people blamed their misfortunes on Akhenaten's shift of worship to Atenism , away from

León y Gama claimed that the only portrait he got to see himself was Moctezuma II's, before its destruction
3174-420: The memory of the sanctioned person. The impossibility of actually erasing memory of an emperor have led scholars to conclude that this was not actually the goal of damnatio . Instead, they understand damnatio : not so much as an attempt to obliterate memory entirely as to transform honorific commemoration into a form of visible denigration. That is: the power of an act of damnatio relies, at least in part, on

Difficulties in implementation also arose if there was not full and enduring agreement with the punishment, such as when the Senate's condemnation of Nero was implemented—leading to attacks on many of his statues —but subsequently evaded with the enormous funeral he was given by Vitellius . Similarly, it was often difficult to prevent later historians from "resurrecting"
