A more thorough explanation:

OFFICIUM VIRILE

Officium virile is a Latin term used in Roman law to refer to a man's office or duty. Some offices, such as tutor and curator, could only be fulfilled by men.

One example of officium virile is the role of a tutor. In ancient Rome, a tutor was responsible for the education and upbringing of a child. This role was typically fulfilled by a man, as it was believed that men were better suited for teaching and guiding children.

Another example is the role of a curator. A curator was responsible for managing the affairs of someone who was unable to do so themselves, such as a minor or someone who was mentally incapacitated. This role was also typically fulfilled by a man.

Officium virile refers to the idea that certain roles or duties in ancient Rome could only be fulfilled by men. This was due to the belief that men were better suited for certain tasks, such as teaching and managing affairs. The examples of a tutor and curator illustrate this concept, as both roles were typically fulfilled by men.
