Minor quibble - there is no single Lex Julia. Any law passed by Gaius Julius Caesar or his heir Gaius Julius Caesar would be called XYZ Lex Julia to distinguish it from previous and later legislation that happened to share the same name.

Sources - Caesar, Life of a Colossus and Augustus, First Emperor of Rome by Adrian Goldsworthy.

That's not really any different than referring to the law vs a law.

They both work in most contexts.
