A wronged husband was entitled to kill his wife's lover if the man was either a slave or "infamis", a person who, though perhaps technically free, was excluded from the normal legal protections extended to Roman citizens. Among the "infames" were convicted criminals, entertainers such as actors and dancers, prostitutes and pimps, and gladiators. He was not allowed to kill his wife, who was not under his legal authority. If he chose to kill the lover, however, the husband was required to divorce his wife within three days and to have her formally charged with adultery. If a husband was aware of the affair and did nothing, he himself could be charged with pandering ("lenocinium", from "leno", "pimp").
