Note 1746 — Chapter X · THE PRINCIPATE
Reading edition
Tac. Hist. iv. 9 (A.D. 69, on the praetors of the aerarium announcing a deficit) “cum perrogarent sententias consules, Volcatius Tertullinus tribunus plebis intercessit, ne quid super tanta re principe absente statueretur.” This is the last recorded instance of the intercessio (Momms. Staatsr. ii. p. 309 n. 1).
