ADROGATION, among the Romans, was a kind of adoption, only differing from it in this: that the person here adopted was free and consented to be adopted by another; and that it was done at the assembly of the people, while the Commonwealth subsisted; and afterwards by a rescript of the Emperors. See ADOPTION.
