Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Journal of Sacred Literature, Vol. 1: October, 1851 January, 1852
In the municipia or affiliated cities, the census was sepa rately held, but the registers were sent to Rome. Municipal censors are mentioned in ancient authorities.d Also in the colonies were there special censors, who from the time of the second Punic war, sent the census-rolls (tabular censorie) to Rome, to be there laid up in the public archives.' The provin ciel census system became under the emperors more strict; it also was more extensive, for the boundaries of the empire were enlarged. The emperors sent into the provinces and colonies officers of their own appointment (censitores) who appointed their own subalterns (censuales) to perform the actual duties of the office.
