While the general absence of Rome’s nobility from the traditions of the regal period has often been noted, the nobility’s prompt appearance at the beginning of the republican period has elicited little comment. This paper argues that the nobility’s appearance is more significant than its earlier absence, precisely on account of its very promptness and also because the nobility appears primarily with the consulship. Given the special importance that the consulship later came to have, following the emergence of Rome’s office-holding nobility, these circumstances inevitably raise questions about the value of the early consularfasti , and indeed even about the whole premise on which the earlyfasti are based, namely that the consulship was established immediately after the expulsion of the kings. It is argued here that this premise is anachronistic, and that the early consularfasti are unreliable and often tendentious; it is further argued that this premise is also responsible for some of the confusion surrounding the mysterious consular tribunate. The consular tribunate was a magistracy about which ancient writers quite clearly knew very little, and their ignorance and the inconsistencies in what they had to say about the tribunate inevitably undermine their claim to possess better and more detailed information about earlier times.

罗马贵族、早期的 ConsularFasti 和领事法庭
虽然人们经常注意到罗马贵族在帝王时期的传统中普遍缺席,但贵族在共和时期开始时的迅速出现并没有引起什么评论。本文认为,贵族的出现比其早先的缺席更为重要,这正是因为它非常迅速,也因为贵族主要以执政官的身份出现。鉴于后来领事的特殊重要性,随着罗马当权贵族的出现,这些情况不可避免地引发了人们对早期领事价值的质疑。斋戒 ,甚至关于早期的整个前提斋戒 其依据是,执政官是在国王被驱逐后立即建立的。这里有人争辩说,这个前提是不合时宜的,而且早期的领事斋戒 不可靠且经常带有倾向性;有人进一步争辩说,这个前提也是围绕神秘领事法庭的一些混乱的原因。领事馆是古代作家显然知之甚少的地方官,他们对领事馆的无知和前后矛盾不可避免地削弱了他们声称拥有关于更早时期的更好和更详细信息的主张。
