Le contrat passé après adjudication par les municipalités avec des gestionnaires de ces énormes hôtels postaux confiait à ceux-ci le soin de construire, d'entretenir les lieux et de faire fonctionner l'hôtel pendant cinq ans, un «lustrum» durée relativement habituelle en droit romain et que l'on retrouve fréquemment dans le domaine foncier ( les contrats de précaires notamment).

The contract drawn up after calls for tenders by the local authorities and managers of these huge 'post houses' conferred responsibility upon the latter for their construction, upkeep and operation for five years - a 'lustrum' - a fairly typical duration for contracts in Roman law, frequently occurring in the area of land ownership (including 'precaria' contracts).
