[647] Mommsen thinks the use of it as well (Staatsr. i p. 132), e.g. that it was in consequence of the absence of the provocatio that the cives Romani Campani were executed in 271 (Val. Max. ii. 7, 15).
[648] e.g. L. Postumius Megellus in 294 B.C. (Liv. x. 37), App. Claudius in 143 B.C. (Suet. Tib. 2).
[649] “Senatus consulto jussuque populi” (Liv. iv. 20).
[650] Polyb. vi. 15 τοὺς ... θριάμβους ... οὐ δύνανται χειρίζειν ὡς πρέπει, ποτὲ δὲ τὸ παράπαν οὐδὲ συντελεῖν, ἐὰν μὴ τὸ συνέδριον συγκατάθηται καὶ δῷ τὴν εἰς ταῦτα δαπάνην.
[651] Liv. xxvi. 21. Cf. Liv. xlv. 35, where the Senate’s request to the tribune is made through a praetor. One cannot say in this case that the imperium is conferred for the day, since the Plebs had no power to confer the imperium.
[652] ib. xxviii. 38; cf. xxxi. 20.
[653] e.g. the two triumphs of Pompeius in 80 and 71 B.C. See Cic. pro Lege Man. 21, 62 “quid tam incredibile, quam ut iterum eques Romanus ex senatus consulto triumpharet?”
[654] A shortened form of conventio. Cf. S. C. de Bacchanalibus (Bruns Fontes) l. 23 “haice uti in conventionid exdeicatis.”
[655] Gell. xiii. 16 “cum populo agere est rogare quid populum, quod suffragiis suis aut jubeat aut vetet, contionem autem habere est verba facere ad populum sine ulla rogatione.”
[656] It was, e.g., the mode in which the people were summoned to witness public executions outside the Pomerium (Cic. pro Rab. 4, 11; Tac. Ann. ii. 23).
