	Decemviri - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In 452 BC the plebeians and patricians of Rome agreed to the appointment of a commission of ten men to write up a code of law defining the principles of Roman administration; during the decemviri's term in office, all other magistracies would be suspended, and their decisions were not subject to appeal.
		The first set of decemviri, composed entirely of patricians, assumed office in 451 BC, and was led by Appius Claudius Crassus Inregillensis Sabinus and Titus Genucius Augurinus, who were consuls for that year.
		This type of decemvirate (also called the decemviri litibus iudicandis) was a civil court of ancient origin (traditionally attributed to King Servius Tullius) mainly concerned with questions bearing on the status of individuals.

		He that was created consul for a year, or dictator for six months, was after that a private man; and, if he had continued in the exercise of his magistracy, had been subject to the same punishment as if he had usurped it at the first.
		The Roman decemviri, though duly elected, were proceeded against as private men usurping the magistracy, when they continued beyond their time.
		The senate and people met; and, exercising their authority in the same manner, as if they had been regularly called by the magistrate appointed to that end, they abrogated the power of the decemviri, proceeded against them as enemies and tyrants, and by that means preserved themselves from utter ruin.

		Contrary to prevailing wisdom, in approximately a dozen cases the keepers of the books (for ease here referred to as the decemviri, though originally they were a board of two and after Sulla a board of fifteen) issued predictive statements, and not just prescriptions for expiation.
