Note 1246 — Chapter V · THE PEOPLE AND ITS POWERS
Reading edition
Gell. xv. 27, 1 “‘calata’ comitia esse, quae pro conlegio pontificum habentur aut regis aut flaminum inaugurandorum causa. Eorum autem alia esse ‘curiata,’ alia ‘centuriata’ ... Isdem comitiis, quae ‘calata’ appellari diximus, et sacrorum detestatio et testamenta fieri solebant.” It is not known what particular acts were reserved for the “comitia calata” assembled centuriatim; Mommsen thinks the inauguration of the Flamen Martialis outside the city (Staatsr. iii. p. 307).
