Lit.: money obtained from the sale of booty (opp. praeda, the booty itself). Of this money, one part was put into the ærarium, one was given to the soldiers, and the remainder to the general; this last part was usually expended by the general on public buildings: aliud omnino praeda est, ut in libris rerum verborumque veterum scriptum est, aliud manubiae. Nam praeda dicitur corpora ipsa rerum, quae capta sunt: manubiae vero appellatae sunt pecunia a quaestore ex venditione praedae redacta, etc.... Est tamen nonnusquam invenire, ita scripsisse quosdam non ignobiles scriptores, ut aut temere aut incuriose praedam pro manubiis et manubias pro praeda posuerint, etc....
