The history of Rome. Book V

22. According to the probable calculation formerly assumed (iv. 113), this would yield an average aggregate number of from 1000 to 1200 senators.

23. This certainly had reference merely to the elections for the years 711 and 712 (Staatsrecht, ii. a 730); but the arrangement was doubtless meant to become permanent.

24. I. V. The Senate as State-Council, II. I. Senate.

25. V. X. Pacification of Alexandria.

26. V. VIII. Changes in the Arrangement of Magistracies and the Jury-System.

27. I. V. The King.

28. Hence accordingly the cautious turns of expression on the mention of these magistracies in Caesar's laws; cum censor aliusve quis magistratus Romae populi censum aget (L. Jul. mun. l. 144); praetor isve quei Romae iure deicundo praerit (L. Rubr. often); quaestor urbanus queive aerario praerit (L. Jul. mun. l. 37 et al.).

29. V. III. New Arrangement as to Jurymen.

30. V. VIII. And in the Courts.

31. Plura enim multo, says Cicero in his treatise De Oratore (ii. 42, 178), primarily with reference to criminal trials, homines iudicant odio aut amore aut cupiditate aut iracundia aut dolore aut laetitia aut spe aut timore aut errore aut aliqua permotione mentis, quam veritate aut praescripto aut iuris norma aliqua aut iudicii formula aut legibus. On this accordingly are founded the further instructions which he gives for advocates entering, on their profession.

32. V. VIII. And in the Courts.

33. V. VII. Macedonia ff.

34. V. VII. The Gallic Plan of War.

35. V. III. Overthrow of the Senatorial Rule, and New Power of Pompeius.

36. With the nomination of a part of the military tribunes by the burgesses (III. XI. Election of Officers in the Comitia) Caesar - in this also a democrat - did not meddle.

37. V. VII. The New Dacian Kingdom.

38. IV. VI. Political Significance of the Marian Military Reform.

39. IV. VI. Political Significance of the Marian Military Reform.

40. V. V. Total Defeat of the Democratic Party.

41. Varro attests the discontinuance of the Sicilian decumae in a treatise published after Cicero's death (De R. R. 2 praef.) where he names - as the corn - provinces whence Rome derives her subsistence - only Africa and Sardinia, no longer Sicily. The Latinitas, which Sicily obtained, must thus doubtless have included this immunity (comp. Staatsrecht, iii. 684).

42. V. X. Field of Caesar's Power.

43. III. XI. Italian Subjects.

44. V. VIII. Clodius.

45. III. XIII. Increase of Amusements.

46. In Sicily, the country of production, the modius was sold within a few years at two and at twenty sesterces; from this we may guess what must have been the fluctuations of price in Rome, which subsisted on transmarine corn and was the seat of speculators.

47. IV. XII. The Finances and Public Buildings.

48. It is a fact not without interest that a political writer of later date but much judgment, the author of the letters addressed in the name of Sallust to Caesar, advises the latter to transfer the corn-distribution of the capital to the several municipia. There is good sense in the admonition; as indeed similar ideas obviously prevailed in the noble municipal provision for orphans under Trajan.
