Atque ut ab incunabulis summi honoris incipiam, P. Valerius, qui populi maiestatem uenerando Publicolae nomen adsecutus est, cum exactis regibus imperii eorum uim uniuersam omniaque insignia sub titulo consulatus in se translata cerneret, inuidiosum magistratus fastigium moderatione ad tolerabilem habitum deduxit fasces securibus uacuefaciendo et in contione populo summittendo. numerum quoque eorum dimidia ex parte minuit ultro Sp. Lucretio collega adsumpto, ad quem, quia maior natu erat, priorem fasces transferri iussit. legem etiam comitiis centuriatis tulit, ne quis magistratus ciuem Romanum aduersus prouocationem uerberare aut necare uellet. ita, quo ciuitatis condicio liberior esset, imperium suum paulatim destruxit. quid quod aedes suas diruit, quia excelsiore loco positae instar arcis habere uidebantur, nonne quantum domo inferior, tantum gloria superior euasit?
