    quem iste in decumis, in rebus capitalibus, in omni calumniā praecursorem habere solebat et emissarium,

    id. ib. 2, 5, 41, § 108; 2, 2, 9, §

    25: ad rapinas convertit animum, vario et exquisitissimo calumniarum et auctionum et vectigalium genere,

    Suet. Calig. 38 init.; cf.

    the context: calumniā litium alienos fundos petere,

    Cic. Mil. 27, 74:

    adeo illis odium Romanorum incussit rapacitas proconsulum, sectio publicanorum, calumniae litium,

    Just. 38, 7, 8:

    calumniarum metum inicere alicui,

    principes confiscatos ob tam leve ac tam inpudens calumniarum genus, ut, etc.,

    id. Tib. 49:

    calumniis rapinisque intendit animum,

    calumnia magiae,

    id. ib. 2, p. 274, 10.—

    Hence, jurid. t. t., the bringing of an action, whether civil or criminal, in bad faith:

    actoris calumnia quoque coërcetur,

    litigiousness on the part of the plaintiff, Just. Inst. 4, 16, 1 Sandars ad loc.; Gai Inst. 4, 174: vetus calumniae actio, a prosecution for blackmail or malicious prosecution, id. ib.: calumniam jurare, to take the oath that the action is brought or defence offered in good faith, Cael. ap. Cic. Fam. 8, 8, 3: sei juraverit calumniae causā non postulare, Lex Acil. Repetund. 19; Dig. 39, 2, 7; cf.: praeter jusjurandum exigere non calumniae causā infitias ire, Gai Inst. 4, 172:

    jusjurandum exigere non calumniae causā agere,

    nec satis habere bello vicisse Hannibalem, nisi velut accusatores calumniam in eum jurarent ac nomen deferrent,

    Liv. 33, 37, 5 Weissenb. ad loc; so,

    de calumniā jurare,

    Dig. 39, 2, 13, § 3: jusjurandum de calumniā, Gai Inst. 4, 179; Dig. 12, 3, 34 al.: et quidem calumniae judicium adversus omnes actiones locum habet, a conviction in a cross-action for malicious prosecution, Gai Inst. 4, 175:

    turpissimam personam calumniae honestae civitati inponere,

    to fasten the vile character of a malicious prosecutor upon, Cic. Verr. 2, 2, 17, § 43:

    sine ignominiā calumniae accusationem relinquere non posse,

    id. Clu. 31, 86.— The person convicted of this charge was branded on the forehead with the letter K; v. calumniator.—
    II.
    Transf., a conviction for malicious prosecution ( = calumniae judicium, v. I. A. 4. supra):

    hic illo privato judicio, mihi credite, calumniam non effugiet,

    Cic. Clu. 59, 163: scito C. Sempronium Rufum, mel ac delicias tuas, calumniam maximo plausu tulisse, Cael. ap. Cic. Fam. 8, 8, 1:

    accusare alienae dominationis scelerisque socius propter calumniae metum non est ausus,

    Cic. Dom. 19, 49:

    perinde poenā teneri ac si publico judicio calumniae condemnatus,

    Tac. A. 14, 41:

    calumniam fictis eludere jocis,

    Phaedr. 3, prol. 37.—
    III.
    Trop.
    A.
    Of abstr. things: in hac igitur calumniā timoris et caecae suspitionis tormento, cum plurima ad alieni sensūs conjecturam, non ad suum judicium scribantur, i. e. when the writer ' s mind is made the fool of his fears, Caecil. ap. Cic. Fam. 6, 7, 4. —
    B.
    Contra se, a mistaken severity towards one ' s self:

    inveni qui Ciceroni crederent, eum (Calvum) nimiā contra se calumniā verum sanguinem perdidisse,

    Quint. 10, 1, 115 (referring to Cic. Brut. 82, 283: nimium inquirens in se atque ipse sese observans, metuensque ne vitiosum colligeret, etiam verum sanguinem deperdebat).
