| | Powers of the Emperor Vespasian (Site not responding. Last check: ) |
 | | No law setting forth all the powers of an emperor had been passed in the reigns of Augustus and Tiberius, in the first case because the powers of Augustus had been redefined at various points in his reign, in the latter case because he had equal power to Augustus in 13 AD. |
 | | And that whomever, seeking office, power, imperium or care over the affairs of the res publica, he commends to the senate and people, and whomever he promises that he will give his vote to, will be given consideration at the elections out of the regular order. |
 | | And whatever has been done, decreed or commanded by the imperator Caesar Vespasian Augustus by his order or instruction before the passage of this law, those things in the future will be approved and binding, just as if they had been ordered and enacted by a law or plebiscite. |
