A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Peculatus (pek-y-lay-tus) is a Latin term used in Roman law to describe the act of stealing or embezzling public funds. It is also known as peculation. This offense is similar to theft, but it specifically involves taking money or property that belongs to the government or public.

Example: A government official who takes money from the public treasury for personal use is committing peculatus. For instance, if a city council member uses public funds to pay for their personal expenses, they are guilty of peculation.

Explanation: The example illustrates how peculatus is committed when a person in a position of authority misuses public funds for their own benefit. This act is considered a serious offense because it involves stealing from the government, which is responsible for using public funds to provide services and benefits to the community. Peculatus is a form of corruption that undermines the trust and integrity of public institutions.
