A quick definition of preces:

Term: PRECES

Definition: Preces means "prayers" in Latin. In Roman law, it refers to a request made by a private person to the emperor. It is similar to a letter asking for help or a favor. This is also known as a "petition."

Example: A citizen might write preces to the emperor asking for help with a legal issue or for financial assistance.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Preces (pree-seez) is a Latin term used in Roman law to refer to a petition, particularly one made by a private individual to the emperor. It is similar to a request or plea for help.

Example 1: A citizen of Rome writes a letter to the emperor asking for his help in resolving a dispute with his neighbor. This letter is an example of preces.

Example 2: A group of merchants petition the emperor to lower taxes on their goods. This petition is also an example of preces.

These examples illustrate how preces were used in Roman law as a means for private individuals or groups to seek assistance or relief from the emperor. It was a way for citizens to make their voices heard and to appeal to the highest authority in the land for help.
