Note 1164 — Chapter IX · THE COMITIA CURIATA
Reading edition
Mommsen’s restoration is, “(Transit imperium nec denuo l)ex curiata fertur, quod Hanni(bal in vicinitate) Romae cum esset nec ex praesidi(is tuto decedi posset), Q. Fabius Maximus Verru(cossus M. Claudius Ma)rcellus cos. facere in(stituerunt)”; Röm. Forsch, ii. 412; Röm. Staatsr. i. 613, n. 3. Bergk, Rhein. Mus. N. F. xix (1864). 606, with less success proposes translatione imperii; cf. also Herzog, Röm. Staatsverf. i. 679. The passage is in fact past healing, though Mommsen’s reconstruction is an improvement on Rubino’s.
