who revealed the treasonable design of 
the sons of Brutus and others to restore 
the banished Tarquins, for which ser¬ 
vice he was rewarded with freedom. 
He is said to have been the first who was 
freed by the vindicta ; but some supposed 
that the vindicta was so called from him. 
Liv. and Claudian. 
VINDICATI5 (Id.), onis, f. the claiming 
or assumption of a thing, an action or 
suit for the property of a thing, assertion 
of ownership of a tiring, appropriation of 
a thing by law. Pandect. Actionurn duo 
sunt genera, in rein, qu;c dicitur vindi- 
catio; et in personam, qu® condictio 
appellatur. Trajan, in Plin. Ep. Uui 
intestatorum civium suoruin concessam 
vindicalionem bonorum affirmant, the 
appropriation. - IT Also, a delivering, 
defending, protection, vengeance. Cic. 
VINDICIA, (Id.), re, f. and commonly 
VINDICIAS, arum, f. the thing for the 
possession of which a suit is brought, or 
to which a claim is made. Fest. - 
IT Also, the suit which is brought to estab¬ 
lish one’s right of possession, or the claim 
at law or formal claim to a thing or per¬ 
son. — To a thing ; when, for instance, 
I assert that it is mine. Cic. Lis vindi- 
ciarum. Id. Injust® vindici®, unjust 
claim. — To a person ; in which case 1 
may either claim a person as my slave, 
or I may assert that a person is a free 
man : the former is called Vindicice se¬ 
cundum seroitutem, or ab libertate in servi- 
tutem; the latter, Vindicice secundum liher- 
tatem. Hence, of the judge, Liv. Dare 
vindicias secundum libertatem, to give 
sentence in favor of the claim to freedom, to 
' decide that the person be considered as free 
till the cause is ultimately decided. Id. Vin¬ 
dicias secundum servitutem decernere, 
to allow the claim on the side of slavery, 
to decide that the person claimed is the 
slave of another, and may be taken as such. 
So, Id. Vindicias ab libertate in servi¬ 
tutem dare, and Vindicias ab libertate 
dicere. Also, Id. Cedere secundum 
libertatem postulantibus vindicias. (See 
Liv. III., 43, 47, 56, 57.)- IT Also, 
the sentence of the judge in cases of this 
kind. Liv. nefand®. To this may be 
referred the expressions cited above, 
Vindicias dare, dicere, postulare.- 
IT Sing. Vindicia is found in Gell. and 
in Serv. Sulp. ap. Fest.

his own. Liv. Decits belli ad se vindi¬ 
care. Plin. Africa Punicum malum 
sibi vindicat. Id. Hoc volumen Pytba- 
gor® fama antiquitasque vindicant. 
With infin. Lucan. Vindicat hoc dextra 
gestare. Especially, to make a formal 
claim at law to the possession of a person 
or thing ; or, to claim the liberty of a per¬ 
son. Liv. 3, 46. Ut vindicari puellam 
in posterum diem pateretur (unless it 
be, to be freed till the morrow). Id. ibid.

dicaret, sponsoresque daret, that he should 
claim Iter as free.' Figur. Cic. Agerent 
tecum lege Pythagor®i^omnes, ceterique

Hence, Vindicare aliquem in Iiberta

set free; as, Cats. Se et populum Rom. 
‘actione oppressum in libertatem vindi¬
