Though most of these concilia are known to have been assemblies of the whole people, nobles and commons, very rarely, as in Livy x. 16. 3, the word signifies a council of a few men—in this case, of the leading men of Etruria (cf. xxxvi. 6. 6); and twice, at Capua, we hear of a plebis concilium; Livy xxiii. 4. 4; xxvi. 16. 9. From the frequency of the first-mentioned use we must conclude that Livy does not hesitate to designate as concilia assemblies of the whole people. Comitia, on the other hand, more rarely applies to foreign assemblies. We hear of comitia of the Veientans (Livy v. 1. 1), of the Syracusans (Livy xxiv. 23. 1; 26. 16; 27. 1), of the Argives (Livy xxxii. 25. 2), of the Boeotians (Livy xxxiii. 27. 8), and of the Thessalians (Livy xxxiv. 51. 5). The conclusions thus far reached are as follows: I. As to Comitia: 1. Livy frequently uses comitia to denote the tribal assembly of the plebs. 2. He always uses comitia to denote the assembly for the election of priests, consisting of but seventeen tribes, and hence of a minority of the people. II. As to Concilium: 1. He frequently uses concilia (rarely comitia) to denote foreign assemblies of all the people. 2. Less frequently he uses concilia to denote Roman assemblies of all the people. Mommsen and others admit, however, that Livy’s usage does not conform strictly to the definition of Laelius Felix; they assume accordingly that the exact meaning of comitia was lost in imperial times, that for the correct usage we should look to the republican writers.
