in roman law, a thing given as a pledge or bond was a "sacramentum". the "sacramentum legis actio" was a sum of money deposited in a legal procedure to affirm that both parties to the litigation were acting in good faith. if correct law and procedures had been followed, it could be assumed that the outcome was "iustum", right or valid. the losing side had thus in effect committed perjury, and forfeited his "sacramentum" as a form of "piaculum", an expiatory sacrifice; the winner got his deposit back. the forfeited "sacramentum" was normally allotted by the state to the funding of "sacra publica", public religious rites.
