Note 202 — Chapter I · THE EARLIEST CONSTITUTION OF ROME (continued 2)
Reading edition
Bouché-Leclercq Les Pontifes de l’ancienne Rome p. 9. That the king was pontiff is stated by Plutarch (Numa 9), Servius (ad Aen. iii. 81), and Zosimus (iv. 36), but the evidence may be vitiated by the position of the Princeps as pontifex maximus.
