Agrarian laws (from the Latin ager, meaning "land") were laws among the Romans regulating the division of the public lands, or ager publicus.In its broader definition, it can also refer to the agricultural laws relating to peasants and husbandmen, or to the general farming class of people of any society.
A lex agraria (pl.: leges agrariae) was a Roman law which dealt primarily with the viritane allotment of public lands. Such laws came largely from two sources: the disposition of lands annexed by Rome in consequence of expansion and the distribution of existing public lands to poor citizens as freeholds.

American law schools and legal scholars first recognized agricultural law as a discipline in the 1940s when law schools at Yale, Harvard, Texas, and Iowa explored and initiated agricultural law courses.

Lucius Annaeus Seneca [7] and Pliny the Elder [8] write that Marius founded a colony in Corsica; Pliny adds that its name was Mariana. The two writers did not specify when this occurred, but it is likely [citation needed] that this was also a result of the law. Appian wrote that the law assigned the larger share to the Italian allies. [9]
Lalor advised the Irish people to refuse "obedience to usurped authority" and resist English law, instead setting up their own government and "refus[ing] ALL rent to the present usurping proprietors". [16] Lalor's writings were the basis of the agrarian code enforced by the Irish National Land League during the Land War in the 1880s. [17]
