Note 1427 — Chapter XI · THE FUNCTIONS OF THE COMITIA CENTURIATA
Reading edition
Livy viii. 12. 16; cf. p. 300. Livy’s words referring to the censorship are corrupt, but the passage seems to have the meaning here given; cf. Mommsen, Röm. Staatsr. ii. 340, n. 2. It was not till 131 that advantage was taken of the provision; Livy, ep. lix. Herzog, Röm. Staatswerf. i. 257, refuses to believe that both censors might now be plebeian.
