Traditional laws of succession also stated that royal sons inherit the throne before daughters, and older children are prioritized over younger.

传统的继承法还规定， 皇室的儿子先于女儿继承王位，年长的孩子优先于年幼的孩子。

This natural law of succession, accordingly, took place among the Romans who made no more distinction between elder and younger, between male and female, in the inheritance of lands, than we do in the distribution of moveables.

因此，这种继承的自然法则发生在罗马人中间，他们在继承土地时不区分长幼、男女，就像我们在分配动产时一样。
