Note 819 — Chapter IV · THE MAGISTRACY

Liv. xl. 44 “eo anno rogatio primum lata est ab L. Villio tr. pl., quot annos nati quemque magistratum peterent caperentque.” It probably accepted the age of twenty-eight for the quaestorship; the minimum age for the consulship in the time of Cicero was forty-three (Phil. v. 17, 48); that for the praetorship is quite unknown; thirty-five and forty have been conjectured.
