Talk:Cursus honorum

I believe the graphic is inaccurate. curule Aediles did not possess imperium (according to Roman Historians Christopher Mackay and Mary T. Boatwright), though they did have the sella curulis. The poster has confused curule offices with offices that hold imperium.

In fact, looking at the diagram at the bottom of the page, it is definitely inaccurate.--CaesarGJ 06:31, 15 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

In my opinion, this article focuses way too much on the Republic. In the Principate (but also in the anarchy of the late Republic), the Cursus Honorum was fairly different from the cursus honorum in the 2nd century BC. For example, only few served ten years before becoming quaestor: the minimum age to become quaestor in the early Principate was 24, most people only served three years as tribune before entering the Senate. Wikipedia articles on Roman politics and such often focus too much on the 'glorious' Republic.

its cool the waz it is
