[917] Two praetors for Sicily and Sardinia (Liv. Ep. xx.), two more for the Spanish provinces (Liv. xxxii. 27). For the lex Baebia see Liv. xl. 44. For the restoration of the number six see Vell. ii. 16. Pomponius says that four were added by Sulla (Dig. 1, 2, 2, 32), but eight are found in 47 B.C. (Dio Cass. xlii. 51).
[918] The praetor had a right to six lictors (στρατηγὸς ἑξαπέλεκυς, App. Syr. 15; cf. Polyb. iii. 40) and appears with the full number in the province (Cic. in Verr. v. 54, 142 “sex lictores circumsistunt”); but, in the exercise of his jurisdiction within the city, he employed, or was allowed, only two (Censorinus de Die Nat. 24, 3; cf. Cic. de Leg. Agr. ii. 34, 93).
[919] Praetor urbanus (S. C. de Bacch. ll. 5, 8, 17, 21), praetor qui inter cives jus dicet (lex Agraria of 111 B.C.), provincia or sors urbana (Liv. xxiv. 9, xxv. 3, xxvii. 7, xxviii. 10, xxix. 13), jurisdictio urbana (ib. xxxii. 28, xlii. 31)—praetor qui inter peregrinos jus dicet (lex Acil. ll. 12 and 89; lex Jul. Munic. ll. 8 and 12), jurisdictio inter peregrinos (Liv. xl. 1), provincia peregrina (ib. xxvii. 7, xxviii. 10). Both these praetors, as distinct from those in foreign command, are said to have urbanae provinciae (ib. xliii. 11), provincia urbana (xxxii. 1), jurisdictio urbana (xxv. 41, xxx. 1).
