The Letters of Cicero, Volume 1

Note 446 — XCV (F I, 2)

Evelyn S. (Evelyn Shirley) Shuckburgh translation

A senatus consultum vetoed by a tribune was written out, with the names of its proposers and backers, and a statement at the end as to the tribunes vetoing it. It was thus on record as an auctoritas senatus, "resolution of the senate," not a senatus consultum. A perfect specimen is given in Letter CCXXIII. This auctoritas was to the effect that no one was to undertake the restoration. See Letter CXIII.
