Aurelius, in the forum, which is mentioned four times by Cicero in
connection with a levy of slaves in 58 B.C. (pro Sest. 34, in Pis. 11: pro
tribunali Aurelii; de domo 54, post red. ad Quir. 13: in tribunali
Aurelii).

Aurelii tur novi quasi pro theatro illi iudicio aedificati videbantur;

ab reo, sed ne surgendi quidem potestas erat), and again in 59 B.C. (pro
Flacc. 66: hoc nimirum est illud quod non longe a gradibus Aurelii
haec causa dicitur). These gradus, being new (novi), were probably
built by M. Aurelius Cotta, consul in that year (74), and as they were

probably belonged together. Either the terms were used without
