Nominatio

The first stage of the appointment of a person to the office of augur. Under the law of Labienus (B.C. 63), when a vacancy occurred in the augural college, each of the augurs nominated a candidate for the post, and the choice between these was made by seventeen tribes chosen by lot. The word is also used of the approval by the emperor of any candidate for office.
