Synopsis

Studies of Roman politics have traditionally explained political behaviour in terms of contests for individual power or group power. By contrast, this focuses on the religious institution of the ""allotment"" of duties among as a primary control on Roman politics. It examines in detail the procedure of allotment, the roles of popular election and allotment in defining public authority and duty, and the relationship between the Roman Senate and elected officials.
