47 Or is this a foolish explanation, and was the temple originally built as a secret place of assembly and council-chamber for himself and his colleague Tatius, that here they might convene with the senators and take counsel concerning public affairs in quiet without being disturbed?

47 Or was it that since Rome, from the very beginning, has been in great danger from conflagrations, they decided to show honour to this god, but to place his temple outside of the city? Cf. Vitruvius, i. 7. 1.

48 Why is it that at the festival of the Consualia they place garlands on both the horses and the asses and allow them to rest?

48 Is it because they celebrate this festival in honour of Poseidon, god of horses, Cf.Life of Romulus, chap. xiv. (25 d). and the ass enjoys a share in the horse’s exemption?

48 Or is it that since navigation and transport by sea have been discovered, pack animals have come to enjoy a certain measure of ease and rest?

49 Why was it the custom for those canvassing for office to do so in the toga without the tunic, as Cato has recorded? Cf. Life of Coriolanus, chap. xiv. (219 f-220 a).

49 Was it in order that they might not carry money in the folds of their tunic and give bribes?

49 Or was it rather because they used to judge candidates worthy of office, not by their family nor their wealth nor their repute, but by their wounds and scars? Accordingly that these might be visible to those that encountered them, they used to go down to their canvassing without tunics.
