A Roman law issued in 69AD regulating inheritance of property after a woman’s death. The law allowed women to leave property in their wills to close friends and roommates. Famous Roman women who used the law were friends Finguria Clitori and Ruggila Mucherius who lived together for 40 years while seving as priestesses of Artemis.
Marcus: "Salve Gaius, did you hear that Bona Sucunda just inherited a fortune?"
Gaius: "Indeed, her roomate left it to her under the Lex Sesbia. What great friends they must have been!"

Man of Honour: a mafioso, a "made man" in one of the Italian-origin crime families. So-called because one upon a time they considered their 'profession' to be an honourable one, providing service to their communities in exchange for 'Pizzo', protection money. As they now mostly scam and squeeze people, it's become a dark joke.
Paulie: "That rat bastard Marco still owes me $200! I'll fuckin kill him!"
Joey: "hey hey hey, forgettaboutit! Marco's a Man of Honour} now, cross him and you'll be sleeping with the fishes"
