The Lex Julia Municipalis is a document of the year 45 B.C., on a bronze tablet which has been broken into two pieces of almost equal size. One piece was found in 1732, near Heraclea in South Italy, and has been since 1754 in the Naples Museum; the other, found 1735 at the same place, is also in the Naples Museum, after having been for some years in private possession in England. The other side of the Tablet bears a Greek inscription, CIG 3.5774-75.
