Moreover, nothing in Roman history indicates that to the validity of a senatus consultum it was necessary to count the vacant domains of the sacred territory.
He is the head of the 'gens togata; of the 'Senatus Populusque Romanus.

An Empire, I say.
"Bring him, by all means! "'The harp, his sole remaining joy, Was carried by an orphan boy'; and I have no doubt the orphan boy can get some cold victuals in the kitchen, while the Senatus dines."
The Imperial Princesses of the Bonaparte family are to be hereditary grand officers, together with as many foreign Empresses, Queens, Princesses, Countesses, and Baronesses as can be bayoneted into this revolutionary sisterhood.

Cf. n. on Lael. 13. In Plin. Ep. 1, 2, 2 the orator Calvus, a younger contemporary of Cicero, is said to have existed nuper.
