lex Rhodia

Read a random definition: arsura

A quick definition of lex Rhodia:

Lex Rhodia is an old law that was used by the Romans to govern the subject of jettison. It means that if something is thrown overboard to save a ship, the cost of the lost item is shared equally between the consignors and the shipmaster. The law was supposedly developed by the people of the island Rhodes, who were very good at sailing and trading. However, there is some doubt about whether the law actually existed. Even so, it has been used as a source of admiralty and maritime law.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Lex Rhodia is a Roman law that governs the subject of jettison. It is the Rhodian law that requires all consignors and the shipmaster to share losses equally. It is also known as lex Rhodia de jactu.

Example: If a ship is in danger of sinking, the shipmaster may decide to throw some cargo overboard to lighten the load and save the ship. According to lex Rhodia, the loss of the cargo should be shared equally among all parties involved, including the consignors and the shipmaster.

Explanation: Lex Rhodia is an ancient law that originated from the people of the island Rhodes, who were known for their commercial prosperity and naval superiority. The law was adopted by the Romans and has been cited as a source of admiralty and maritime law. The example illustrates how the law applies in the case of jettison, where the loss of cargo is shared equally among all parties involved.
