[Footnote *: Gibbon  accuses the civilians of having "rashly
          fixed the age  of  puberty  at twelve or fourteen years." It
          was  not so;  before  Justinian,  no  law  existed  on  this
          subject.  Ulpian relates the discussions which took place on
          this point among  the different sects of civilians.  See the
          Institutes, l. i. tit. 22, and the fragments of Ulpian.  Nor
          was the curatorship obligatory for all minors. - W.]
