Abstract
A recent number of the Journal (vol. xx, p. 78) contains an article by Mr. Harold Mattingly, under the title given above, dealing with the reckoning of the tribunician power of the Roman emperors. He starts from the thesis of Mommsen, that ‘in the early empire, from Augustus to Nerva, the tribunician power was renewed year by year on the day of its first conferment, but that from Trajan onwards it was renewed instead at the beginning of the new year of the ordinary tribunes, December 10th.’ The second part of this thesis has been attacked in the past and Mr. Mattingly sets out to re-examine the evidence on the subject.
