Ancient Geography, now Antibes, on the coast of Provence, a colony of the Massilians, near the river Verus, in Gallia Narbonensis (Livy), three leagues to the west of Nice. E. Long. 7° N. Lat. 43° 40'.
Antiquary, among Roman lawyers, properly denotes the rejecting of a new law, or refusing to pass it. In which sense, antiquating differs from abrogating; as the latter imports the annulling an old law, the former the rejecting a new one.
Antiquary is also used for a law's growing obsolete, or into disuse, either by age or non-observance.
