Deportatio
n. [fr. Latin deportare "to carry away"] Roman law. Permanent exile of a condemned criminal. 0 The person's legal rights were virtually eliminated, all property was forfeited, and the person was "taken out of the number of Roman citizens" (ex numero civium Romanorum tollitur). Cf. RELEGATIO. "Deportatio. Perpetual banishment of a person condemned for a crime. It was the severest form of banishment since it included additional penalties, such as seizure of the whole property, loss of Roman citizenship, confinement to a definite place. Under the Principate it replaced the former interdictio aqua et igni. The emperor could grant the deportee full amnesty, which restored him to his former rights (postliminium). Places of deportatio were islands (in insulam) near the Italian shore or an oasis in the Libyan desert." Adolf Berger, Encyclopedic Dictionary of Roman Law 432 (1953).
