LIBERTI, LIBERTINI. Lat. In Roman law. Freedmen. The condition of those who, having been slaves, had been made free. 1 Brown, Civ. Law 99. There seems to have been some difference in the use of these two words; the former denoting the manumitted slaves considered in their relations with their former master, who was now called their "patron;" the latter term applying to them in their status in the general social economy of Rome subsequent to manumission. Lee. El. Dr. Rom. § 93. See Morey, Rom.L. 236.
