The Roman assemblies from their origin to the end of the Republic

A detailed monograph examines the development, organization, and functioning of Rome's popular assemblies from their earliest tribal divisions to the Republic's end. It analyzes social composition, tribal and centuriate divisions, auspices and religious procedures, the contio and calata comitia, and the distinct roles of comitia curiata, centuriata, and tributa. The work traces comitial legislative and judicial activity, voting procedure, preservation of statutes, and the impact of political reforms, reassessing earlier theories and drawing on ancient sources and modern scholarship to offer conservative, evidence-based reinterpretations. Chapters synthesize institutional history, procedural practice, and a bibliography for further study.
