Note 696 — Chapter V · THE AUSPICES
Reading edition
That they were two separate enactments, and not one complex statute by joint authors, is clearly indicated by Cic. Har. Resp. 27. 58: “Sustulit duas leges Aeliam et Fufiam;” Sest. 15. 33. Generally they are spoken of as separate laws, though Cicero occasionally, as Vatin. 5. 7, groups them in one. That they were plebiscites is held probable by Mommsen, Röm. Staatsr. i. 111, n. 4.
