Abstract
In his first book Gaius writes of manus, and begins by telling us that while potestas is exercised over both males and females, women alone come under manus. Then he goes on to say that in old times there were three ways in which women could come under manus, viz. usu, farreo (or confarreatione) and coemptione: and proceeds to explain these three.
