[Footnote 327:  See the Life of Crassus, c. 16, notes, Julia died B.C. 54, in the consulship of L. Domitius Ahenobarbus and Ap.  Claudius Pulcher (See the Life of Caesar. c. 23.) Crassus lost his life B.C. 53.]

[Footnote 328:  A quotation from the Iliad, xv. 189.]

[Footnote 329:  Cn.  Domitius Calvinus and M. Valerius Messala, the consuls of B.C. 53, were not elected till seven months after the proper time, so that there was during this time an anarchy [Greek:  anarchia] , which is Plutarch’s word).  This term ‘anarchy’ must be taken in its literal and primary sense of a time when there were no magistrates, which would be accompanied with anarchy in the modern sense of the term.  Dion Cassius (40. c. 45) describes this period of confusion.  The translation in the text may lead to a misunderstanding of Plutarch’s meaning; it should be, “he allowed an anarchy to take place.”  Kaltwasser’s translation:  “so liess er es zu einer Anarchie kommen,” is perfectly exact.]

[Footnote 330:  In the year B.C. 52 in which year Clodius was killed.]

[Footnote 331:  She was the daughter of Q. Caecilius Metellus Pius Scipio, who was the son of P. Cornelius Scipio Nasica and of Licinia, the daughter of the orator L. Crassus.  He was adopted (B.C. 64 or 63) by the testament of Q. Caecilius Metellus Pius, who fought in Spain ngainst Sertorius; but his daughter must have been born before this, as she bore the name Cornelia.  Drumann (Geschichte Roms, Caecilii, p. 49) thinks that the story of her attempting to destroy herself when she heard of the death of her husband (Life of Pompeius, c. 74) is suspicious, because she married Pompeius the year after.  If Cornelia were the only woman that was ever said to have done so, we might doubt the story; but as she is not, we need not suspect it on that account.]

[Footnote 332:  Corruption is [Greek:  dorodokia] in Plutarch, ’gift receiving,’ and it ought to correspond to the Roman Peculatus.  But [Greek:  dorodokia] also means corruption by bribes.  Bribery is [Greek:  dekasmos] in Plutarch, which is expressed generally by the Roman Ambitus, and specially by the verb ‘decuriare.’ (See Cicero’s Oration Pro Cn.  Plancio, Ed. Wunder.) The offence of Scipio was Ambitus. (Dion Cassius, 40. c. 51, &c.; Appianus, Civil Wars, ii. 24.) As to Roman Bribery, see the article BRIBERY, ‘Political Dictionary,’ by the author of this note, whose contribution begins p. 416.]

[Footnote 333:  These 360 Judices appear to have been chosen for the occasion of these trials. (Velleius Pater. ii. 76; Goettling, Roemische Staatsverfassung, p. 482.)]

[Footnote 334:  T. Munatius Plancus Bursa, a tribune of the Plebs.  In B.C. 52 Milo and Clodius with their followers had an encounter in which Clodius was killed.  Tho people, with whom he was a favourite, burnt his body in the Curia Hostilia, and the Curia with it. (Dion Cassius, 40, c. 48.) Plancus was charged with encouraging this disorder, and he was brought to trial.  Cicero was his accuser; he was condemned and exiled. (Cicero, Ad Diversos, vii. 2.)]
