and centuries and the following distribution ox znem, aciaptea for either ace or war. XLI P工 e了1 The Classes and Centuries. Those whose property amounted to, or exceeded zoo,ooo lbs. weight of coppert wereformed into eighty centuries, forty of juniors and forty ofseniors Y3 These were called the :First Class. The seniors were wooden shield instead of the round brazen one and no coat of mail. The Third Class he formed of those whose property fell as low as 50,000 lbs.; these also consisted of twenty centuries,similarly divided into seniors and juniors. The only difference in the armour was that they did not wear greaves. In the Fourth Class were those whose property did not fall below 251 000 lbs.‘They also formed twenty centuries;their only arms were a spear and ajavelin. _The Fifth Class was larger," } YW } } w it formed thirty centuries. They carrxea sli叮s ana stones, anct they included the supernu nierarles the horn-blowers, and the trumpeters, who formed three centuries. This Fifth Class was assessed at 工:,ooo lbs. The rest of the population whose property fell below this were formed into one, century and were exempt from military service. 嫩 thus regulating the equipment and distribution of theinfantry, he re-arranged the cavalry. He enrolled from, amongstthe principal men of the State twelve centuries. In the same way he made six other centuries (though only three had beenformed by Romulus) under the same names under which thefirst had been inaugurated. For the purchase of the horse,x0,ooo lbs. were assigned them from the public treasury; whilstfor its keep certain widows were assessed to pay 2000 lbs. each.,annually. The burden of all these expenses was shifted fromthe poor on to the rich. Then additional privileges were conferred. The former kings had maintained the constitution as handed down by Romulus, vii., manhoo suffrage in which. all alike possessed the same weight and d妞如 oyed the same rights. Servius introduced a graduation; so that whilst notiint whilst no one was ostensibly deprived of his vote, all the vot ing power was in the hands of the principal men of the State. The knights were first summoned to record their vote, then the eighty centuries of the infantry of the First Mass;if their votes were divided, which seldom happened, it was arranged for the Second Class to be summoned;very seldom did the voting extend to the lowes七Class. Nor need x七 occasion any surprise, that the arrangement which now exists since the completion of the; thirty--five tribes. their number being doumed tay tue cen切rtes of Juniors anct seniors, noes not agree with the total as instituted by Scrvius Tullius.For, after dividing the City with its districts and the hills which were inhabited into four parts, he called these divisions“tribes," I think from the tribute they paid, for he also introduced the practice of collecting it. at“、equal rate，according to the assessment. These trees had nothingto do with the distribution and number of the centuries.
