Fugitive slaves

Another tit-bit from the mouth of Millar, noticed at references 1 and 2.

It seems that Marcus Aurelius (emperor of Rome from 161 to 180), ruled that people had the right of entering the estates of others, including here both the emperor and the senate, for the purpose of recovering fugitive slaves.

Was this precedent cited for the notorious fugitive slave acts in the US, near two thousand years later?

In any event a reminder that, in the words of the Preacher at Chapter 1, Verse 9: 'The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun'. Original italics.

PS: we are not told how the Aurelian ruling was enforced. Perhaps the magistrates inserted the weasel word 'reasonable' before the word 'right'.
