There were no class-privileges: the fact that the Tities took precedence of the Ramnes, and both ranked before the Luceres, did not affect their equality in all legal rights.
It was, however, a matter of course that the opening of the year should also be included in the sphere of Ianus, especially after Ianuarius came to be placed at its head. I. IV. Tities and Luceres I. VI. Amalgamation of the Palatine and Quirinal Cities I. VII. Servian Wall I. III. Latium I. VII. Relation of Rome to Latium I. V. Burdens of the Burgesses, I. XI. Crimes
Among these were probably the independent cantons of the Ramnians, Tities, and Luceres, which united to form a single commonwealth, and occupied the hills which arose about fourteen miles from the mouth of the Tiber. Around these hills was a rural population which tilled the fields.
The chief officers of the legion were the Tribunes; and originally there was one in each legion from the three tribes, the Ramnes, Luceres, and Tities. In the time of Polybius the number in each legion was six.
An exchange of gods as well as of goods with the Latins in older time must have been a matter of course; the transplantation to Rome of gods and worships belonging to less cognate races is more remarkable. Of the distinctive Sabine worship maintained by the Tities we have already spoken.
Such an outpost would be useful to guard Latium against the Etrurians across the river. Of the three townships, or clans, which united to form Rome, the Ramnes, the Tities, and the Luceres, the first and third were Latin. The second, which was Sabine, blended with the Roman element, as the language proves.
Upon the whole the Sabines maintained their footing in the mountains, as in the district bordering on Latium which has since been called by their name, and so too in the Volscian land, presumably because the Latin population did not extend thither or was there less dense; while on the other hand the well-peopled plains were better able to offer resistance to the invaders, although they were not in all cases able or desirous to prevent isolated bands from gaining a footing, such as the Tities and afterwards the Claudii in Rome.
If we have rightly assumed that the contrast between the Palatine old and the Quirinal new burgesses was identical with the contrast between the first and second Tities, Ramnes, and Luceres, it was thus the -gentes-of the Quirinal city that formed the "second" or the "lesser." The distinction, however, was certainly more an honorary than a legal precedence.
The Ram'nes, or Ram'nenses, derived their name from Rom'ulus; the Tities, or Titien'ses, from Titus Tatius, the king of the Sabines; and the Lu'ceres, from Lu'cumo, the Tuscan title of a general or leader. From this it appears that the three tribes were really three distinct nations, differing in their origin, and dwelling apart.
And it was probably the fortified camp of the Romans, which protected an army against surprises and other misfortunes, which gave such efficacy to the legions. The chief officers of the legion were the tribunes, and originally there was one in each legion from the three tribes the Ramnes, Luceres, and Tities. In the time of Polybius the number in each legion was six.
