	Censor
		The 'tribes' in the Roman state were not ethnic but assigned by the censors—only the descendants of ancient citizen families considered themselves related to their tribe by blood.
		The censors took a regular census of the Roman people and then apportioned the citizens into voting classes on the basis of income and tribal affiliation.
		The censors enrolled new citizens in tribes and voting classes as well—slaves who had been freed since the last census automatically entered citizenship.

	Feminae Romanae: The Women of Ancient Rome
		Whereas the values of earlier Roman women must be extrapolated from the legends of Livy or the complaints of Cato the Censor, we are on firmer historical ground with the advent of the 1st century BC.

	C. Sallustii Crispi, De Bello Catilinario et Jugurthino

		In B.C. 52 he was tribune of the people, and took an active part in the disturbances which were caused at Rome in that year by the open struggles between Annius Milo, one of the optimates, who was canvassing for the consulship, and P. Clodius, who was trying to obtain the praetorship.
		The other censor, L. Piso, did not protect either Sallust, or any of the others who shared the same fate with him, against this act of partiality.

		On such a day we may suppose that the patriotic enthusiasm of a Latin poet would vent itself in reiterated shouts of ``Io triumphe,'' such as were uttered by Horace on a far less exciting occasion, and in boasts resembling those which Virgil put into the mouth of Anchises.

		This chair was displayed upon all public occasions, especially in the circus and theatre; and it was the seat of the Praetor when he administered justice.
