History of Rome, Vol III

BOOK XXVII
18/146

Marcus Marcius, king of the sacred rites, and Marcus Aemilius Papus, chief curio, died; but no priests were appointed to succeed them this year.

The censors this year were Lucius Veturius Philo, and Publius Licinius Crassus chief pontiff.

Licinius Crassus had neither been consul nor praetor before he was appointed censor, he stepped from the aedileship to the censorship.

These censors neither chose the senate, nor transacted any public business, the death of Lucius Veturius prevented it; on this Licinius also gave up his office.

The curule aediles, Lucius Veturius and Publius Licinius Varus, repeated the Roman games during one day.
The plebeian aediles, Quintus Catius and Lucius Porcius Licinius, furnished brazen statues for the temple of Ceres, out of the money arising from fines, and exhibited games with great pomp and splendour, considering the circumstances of the times.
