| The interrex who presided over the comitia proclaimed, without opposition, Crassus and Pompey consuls. |
| Toward the end of the early republic, patricians retained exclusive control only of some old priesthoods, the office of interrex, or interim head of state, and perhaps that of princeps senatus, or senate leader. |
| The patricians, now that the republic was without any curule magistrate, assembled together and elected an interrex. |
| Finally, the people elected to every magistracy with the exception of the occasional offices of Dictator and interrex. |
