(-5[1])These actions came in censu and testamento types, (15[1]-5[1])and often a rod (15[2])called a vindicta (-5[1])or festuca was tapped on the head (15[1])of the central (15[1])figure, who then put on a felt cap called a (*) pileus. (10[3]-5[1])This action was performed on Emperor Pertinax’s father, (-5[1])and those taking it (10[2])acquired the status of patronus (-5[1])towards the other person. The taker (-5[1])of this action assumed the role of patronus. After (-5[1])undertaking (-5[1])this action, people who weren’t dediticii gained Latin rights as liberti (10[1])or (10[2]-5[1])libertini.
