§1.16.14.pr

​Proconsules non amplius quam sex fascibus utuntur.1

​Proconsuls do not use more than six fasces.

Syntax notes1 item
  1. 1.16.14.prsex fascibus utuntur

    The verb utor (to use) governs the ablative case, hence the noun fasces appears in the plural ablative form fascibus. The comparative expression non amplius quam (not more than) is inserted without affecting this case government.
