Jahn,

provocat me in aleam, ut ego ludam,

in foro aleā ludere,

aleam studiosissime lusit,

repetitio ejus, quod in aleā lusum est,

exercere aleam,

indulgere aleae,

oblectare se aleā,

prosperiore aleā uti,

alea domini vitae ac rei familiaris,

sequentes non aleam, sed rationem aliquam,

aleam inesse hostiis deligendis,

dare summam rerum in aleam,

in dubiam imperii servitiique aleam ire,

alea belli,

talibus admissis alea grandis inest,

periculosae plenum opus aleae,

Romulus cum cetero habitu se augustiorem tum maxime lictoribus duodecim sumptis (a finitima Etruria) fecit,

and to remind them of paying their respects to him (animadvertere, v. h. v.). The foremost one was called primus lictor: apud quem primus quievit lictor,

the last and nearest to the consul, proximus lictor,

26, 16.—It was necessary that lictors should be freeborn: not till the time of Tacitus were freedmen also appointed to the office. They were united into a company, and formed the decuriae apparitorum (public servants). In Rome they wore the toga, in the field the sagum, in triumphal processions a purple mantle and fasces wreathed with laurel: togulae lictoribus ad portam praesto fuerunt, quibus illi acceptis, sagula rejecerunt et catervam imperatori suo novam praebuerunt,

but it was soon decreed that the consuls should be preceded for a month alternately by twelve lictors,

a regulation which appears to have been afterwards, although not always, observed,

Cæsar was the first who restored the old custom,

in their second year each had twelve lictors to himself,

The military tribunes with consular power had also twelve lictors,

and likewise the interrex,

the magister equitum only six, Dio, 42, 27. The praetor urbanus had, in the earlier times, two lictors,

but in the later times the praetor had in the city, as well as in the province, six lictors, Polyb. 3, 40: cum praetor lictorem impellat et ire praecipitem jubeat,

these, however, appear to have had no fasces, which was also the case with the thirty lictores curiati (who summoned the curiae to vote),

lictorem feminae in publico unionem esse,
