Martin left the militia, his action was qualified as solutio cinguli, and at all those who act like him the insulting expression militaribus zonis discincti is cast. The girdle which sustains the sword of the Roman officer cingulum zona, or rather cinctorium as also the baldric, from balteus, passed over the shoulder and was intended to support the weapon of the common soldier.
The image of a vinculum juris colours and pervades every part of the Roman law of Contract and Delict. The law bound the parties together, and the chain could only be undone by the process called solutio, an expression still figurative, to which our word "payment" is only occasionally and incidentally equivalent.
Oh, you are sick of self-love, Malvolio, And taste with a distempered appetite! Shakspeare. Il doutait de tout, même de l'amour. French Novel. Solvitur ambulando. Solutio Sophismatum. Flevit amores Non elaboratum ad pedem. Horace.
