Caesar, Julius; Rome -- History -- Republic, 265-30 B.C.
502. 297,797. (Titus Livius, _Epitome_, XVIII.)
507. 241,212. (Titus Livius, _Epitome_, XIX.)
513. 260,000. (Eusebius, Olymp. cxxxiv. 4.)
534. 270,213. (Titus Livius, _Epitome_, XX.)
546. 137,108. (Titus Livius, XXII. 36.)--This enormous difference is wrongly
ascribed to the losses experienced in the first five years
of the Second Punic war, and Titus Livius states but a very
small difference, _minor aliquanto numerus quam qui ante
bellum fuerat_, which would give us cause to believe in
an error of the copyist in the number of the census,
so that we should read 237,108.
550. 214,000. (Titus Livius, XXIX. 37; _Fasti Capitolini_.)--The censors, as
is formally stated, had extended their operations to the
armies; in addition to which, many allies and Latins had
come to take their domicile in Rome, and had been included
in the census.
561. 143,704. (Titus Livius, XXXV. 9.) Here, also, there doubtless exists
an error; we must read 243,704. Perhaps, too, the censors
did not include in that number of citizens the soldiers
in campaign.
566. 258,318. (Titus Livius, XXXVIII. 36); _Epitome_, 258,310. Many allies
of the Latin name had been included in the census.
576. 288,294. (Titus Livius, _Epitome_, XLI.) The figures of the census of
preceding and following years lead us to adopt this number,
though the manuscripts give only 258,294.
581. 269,015. (Titus Livius, XLII. 10); _Epitome_, 267,231. “The reason
of the inferiority of the census of 581 was,” according to
Titus Livius, “the edict of the Consul Postumius, in virtue
of which those who belonged to the class of the Latin allies
were to return, to be taken for their censuses, in their
respective towns, according to the edict of the Consul
C. Claudius, so that there was not a single person of
the allies who was taken at Rome.” (Titus Livius, XLII. 10.)
586. 312,805. (Titus Livius, _Epitome_, XLV.)
591. 337,022. (Titus Livius, _Epitome_, XLVI.)
595. 328,316. (Titus Livius, _Epitome_, XLVII.)
600. 324,000. (Titus Livius, _Epitome_, XLVIII.)
608. 334,000. (Eusebius, Olymp. clviii. 3.)
613. 327,442. (Titus Livius, _Epitome_, LIV.)
618. 317,933. (Titus Livius, _Epitome_, LVI.)
623. 318,823. (Titus Livius, _Epitome_, LIX.)
629. 394,726. (Titus Livius, _Epitome_, LX.)
639. 394,336. (Titus Livius, _Epitome_, LXIII.)
667. 463,000. (Eusebius, Olymp. clxxiv. 1.)
