Ἀίτια Ῥωμαϊκά

Ἀίτια Ῥωμαϊκά Plutarch
79 Was it to show honour to the dead? In fact, to other men of achievement, as well as to generals, they granted, not only for themselves, but also for their descendants, the right to be buried in the Forum, as they did to Valerius Cf. Life of Publicola, chap. xxiii. (109 d). and to Fabricius: and they relate that when descendants of these men die and have been conveyed to the Forum, a lighted torch is placed beneath the body and then immediately withdrawn; thus they enjoy the honour without exciting envy, and merely confirm their prerogative.
80 Why was it that when they gave a public banquet for men who had celebrated a triumph, they formally invited the consuls and then sent word to them requesting them not to come to the dinner? Cf. Valerius Maximus, ii. 8. 6.
80 Was it because it was imperative that the place of honour at table and an escort home after dinner should be assigned to the man who had triumphed? But these honours can be given to no one else when the consuls are present, but only to them.
81 Why does not the tribune wear a garment with the purple border,The toga praetexta. although the other magistrates wear it?
