n Italy 26. III. VII. Celtic Wars 27. III. VI In Italy 28. III. VII. Latins 29. II. VII. Non-Latin Allied Communities 30. III. VII. Latins 31. Thus, as is well known, Ennius of Rudiae received burgess-rights from one of the triumvirs, Q. Fulvius Nobilior, on occasion of the founding of the burgess-colonies of Potentia and Pisaurum (Cic. Brut. 20, 79); whereupon, according to the well-known custom, he adopted the -praenomen- of the latter. The non-burgesses who were sent to share in the foundation of a burgess-colony, did not, at least in tin's epoch, thereby acquire -de jure- Roman citizenship, although they frequently usurped it (Liv. xxxiv. 42); but the magistrates charged with the founding of a colony were empowered, by a clause in the decree of the people relative to each case, to confer burgess-rights on a limited number of persons (Cic. pro Balb. 21, 48). 32. III. VII. Administration of Spain 33. III. IX. Expedition against the Celts in Asia Minor 34. III. X. Their Lax and Unsuccessful Management of the War f. 35. II. I. Term of Office 36. III. VII. Administration of Spain 37. III. XI. Italian Subjects, Roman Franchise More Difficult of Acquisition 38. III. XI. Roman Franchise More Difficult of Acquisition 39. In Cato's treatise on husbandry, which, as is well known, primarily relates to an estate in the district of Venafrum, the judicial discussion of such processes as might arise is referred to Rome only as respects one definite case; namely, that in which the landlord leases the winter pasture to the owner of a flock of sheep, and thus has to deal with a lessee who, as a rule, is not domiciled in the district (c. 149). It may be inferred from this, that in ordinary cases, where the contract was with a person domiciled in the district, such processes as might spring out of it were even in Cato's time decided not at Rome, but before the local judges. 40. II. VII. The Full Roman Franchise 41. II. VII. Subject Communities 42. III. VIII. Declaration of War by Rome 43. II. III. The Burgess-Body 44. III. XI. Patricio-Plebian Nobility 45. The laying out of the circus is attested. Respecting the origin of the plebeian games there is no ancient tradition (for what is said by the Pseudo-Asconius, p. 143, Orell. is not such); but seeing that they were celebrated in the Flaminian circus (Val. Max. i, 7, 4), and first certainly occur in 538, four years after it was built (Liv
