Mox, sc. when Paullinus and A. came to the rescue. Nec minus, etc. A remark worthy of notice and too often true. VI. Magistratus. The regular course of offices and honors at Rome. Per anteponendo.

From the first moment he drew the judicial robes around him he viewed all questions submitted to him as a judge in the calm atmosphere of the bench, and with the deliberate consideration of one who feels that he is determining issues for the remote and unknown future of a great people." Magistratus ostendit virum the magistracy shows out the man.

Even when, on the institution of the praetorship, the idea rose of apportioning special functions to the -magistratus maiores-, this division of powers had more of a practical than of a strictly legal force; the -praetor urbanus- was primarily indeed the supreme judge, but he could also convoke the centuries, at least for certain cases, and could command an army; the consul in the city held primarily the supreme administration and the supreme command, but he too acted as a judge in cases of emancipation and adoption the functional indivisibility of the supreme magistracy was therefore, even in these instances, very strictly adhered to on both sides.

Sect. 26. For proof of these things I add, 1. Politic government, versatur circa res terrenas et hominem externum (saith one of our writers ); magistratus (saith another ) instituti sunt

-Sed sumne ego stultus, qui rem curo publicam Ubi sunt magistratus, quos curare oporteat? and taken as a whole, we can hardly imagine a comedy politically more tame than was that of Rome in the sixth century. The oldest Roman comic writer of note, Gnaeus Naevius, alone forms a remarkable exception.
