In the comitia centuriata the Romans were divided according to age, wealth and residence. |
|
The Comitia Centuriata included both patricians and plebeians organized into five economic Classes and distributed among internal divisions called Centuries. |
|
While it did not pass many laws, the Comitia Tributa did elect quaestors, curule aediles, and military tribunes. |
|
Only the Comitia Centuriata could declare war, and ratify the results of a census. |
|
Consuls were elected by the Comitia Centuriata, which had an aristocratic bias in its voting structure which only increased over the years from its foundation. |
|
Throughout the early years of the Principate although the consuls were still formally elected by the Comitia Centuriata, they were in fact nominated by the princeps. |
|
The president of the Comitia Centuriata was usually a consul. |
