Note 2173 — Chapter XI · ITALY AND THE PROVINCES UNDER THE PRINCIPATE
Reading edition
See Marquardt Staatsverw. i. p. 190; Kuhn Verfassung des römischen Reichs i. p. 238. Cf. Plin. ad Traj. 112 (113) “ii quos indulgentia tua quibusdam civitatibus super legitimum numerum adicere permisit.” Contrast with this the principle of admission to local senates recognised by the lex Julia Munic. l. 85 “nei quis eorum quem ... legito neve sublegito ... nisi in demortuei damnateive locum.”
