Note 2582 — Chapter XVII · COMITIAL LEGISLATION From Sulla to the End of the Republic, 82 to about 30

Livy, ep. lxxxix, who connects it closely with the increase in the number of senators, placing it thus among his earlier measures; (Aurel. Vict.) Vir. Ill. 75. 11; Servius, in Aen. vi. 73; cf. Tac. Ann. vi. 12; Lange, Röm. Alt. iii. 157; Fröhlich, in Pauly-Wissowa, Real-Encycl. iv. 1559 f.; Lengle, Sull. Verf. 1-9. That the increase in the last-named college was due to Sulla seems certain, though it is nowhere stated. It is possible, too, that the increase of the epulones from three to seven was his work; Lengle, ibid. 2.
