Note 157 — TRANSLATION
Clayton Morris Hall translation
On the authority of the ‘lex de permutatione provinciarum’ of June 1-2, 44 B.C. W. Sternkopf, Hermes 47, p. 357 ff. and Ciceros ausgewählte Reden, vol. 8, p. 9 and note, declares that this act is identical with the ‘lex tribunicia de provinciis,’ both having been ratified at the same meeting. The former term is employed by Livy, Epit., 117; the latter by Cicero, Phil., 5, 7. The combined result was that Antony should have part or all of Gaul in place of Macedonia, and that both consuls should enjoy an imperium extended for five years. In the historians the references to the exchange of provinces are: Dio 45; 9, 20, 25; 46; 23, 24; Appian 3; 27, 29, 30, 31, 37, 38, 52, 55, 63.
