Document Summary

Nobilis noble: families who had a history of being in office. Novus homo (pl. novi homines) new man: people who had just received roman citizenship. When any well-known family member died, the family would take images and masks to the funeral, and put them on men who seemed similar in height and size to the deceased. In the 2nd and 1st century bce there were changes to the magistracies: rome has more territory to control, there are more people with roman citizenship who can run for offices. After 197 bce consulship was only possible after holding praetorship, so consulships would only go to those with experience. 180 bce the lex villia annalus stated there must be a two year gap between consulship and praetorship. Sulla"s legislation (81-80 bce) quaestorship was required before praetorship. Individuals who came from a line of ancestors in office consider themselves more important than new men.
