Note 1028 — Chapter IV · THE MAGISTRACY (continued 2)
Reading edition
Liv. xxiii. 23 “nec censoriam vim uni permissam et eidem iterum.” The prohibition is attributed to a law of Marcius Rutilus Censorinus, censor 294 and 265 B.C. (Plut. Cor. 1; cf. Val. Max. iv. 1, 3); but it could not have been his work, at least as censor, for this official had not the jus rogandi. See Momms. Staatsr. i. p. 520.
