Note 198 — Chapter III · THE FIRST WARS AND FIRST REFORMS OF THE FLORENTINE COMMUNE.144
Linda Villari translation
In the years 1193 and 1195 he still mentions the Consuls, and even by name. These may have been the consiliarii of the two Podestà known to have existed in those years. It is well to observe here that all this would have been impossible in the case of Imperial Podestà, had there ever been any in Florence. They could never have appeared in the light of chief Consuls.
