• Resumen

  • En without significant textual data, the author connects the removal of the "lectio Senatus" from the consuls and its attribution to censors, in consequence of the "Plebiscitum Ovinium", at the convulsive events of the Second Samnitic war, which brought about a drastic reduction in the plenum of senate, excluding that the "Plebiscitum Ovinium" may be dated prior to 318 b.c. (and, above all, that the first "lectio Senatus" by the censors was the one done by Pubblilius Philo) or after the "lex Hortensia". The author believes that the first "lectio Senatus", done by Appius Claudius in 312 b.c., is result from an extraordinary legislative measure and that own function has been attribuited, definitely, to the censors just in the following year, as results of an initiative of the tribune Ovinius.
