A more thorough explanation:

Lex Falcidia

Lex Falcidia is a law that was created in ancient Rome. It stated that when someone died, their will had to leave at least a quarter of their property to their heirs. This law was created to protect the heirs from being left with nothing.

For example, if someone had a lot of money and property, they could not leave it all to their favorite charity or friend. They had to leave at least a quarter of it to their family. This ensured that the family would not be left with nothing after the person died.

Another example is if someone had a small amount of property, they could leave it all to their family. But if they had a lot of property, they had to leave at least a quarter of it to their family.

These examples illustrate how the lex Falcidia law worked. It ensured that the family of the deceased person would not be left with nothing and would receive at least a quarter of their property.
