Chapter 3

_praefectus urbi_, which is borne out by an inscription (C.I.L. vi. 28). The lawsuit of Aemilianus must therefore have been heard at Rome. The explanation of the words _quam quidem vocem_, &c., which follow, imply that Lollius was now in Numidia. This is possible enough since an inscription (C.I.L. viii. 6705) proves him to have been a native of Tiddis in Numidia. The _praefectus urbi_ was assisted by a _consilium_, not by _iudices_. Here the members of the _consilium_ are described as _consulares_. [Cp. Karlowa, Roem. Rechtgesch., p. 551.]
