Tempore cassii pugnauit julius cum pompeio et, post uictoriam habitam , tribus annis et mensibus septem tenuit principatum; nam ante eum sub consulibus res acta fuit annis .cccclxiiii. et a tempore romuli , sub regibus septem , .ccxl. annis fuerat imperatum, quibus exactis, successerunt consules usque ad julium cesarem .

In the time of Cassius, Julius Caesar fought with Pompey and, after his victory, held the principality for three years and seven months. Before him, the government had been in the hands of consuls for 464 years, and from the time of Romulus, under seven kings. There was an empire for 240 years, after which there were successive consuls until Julius Caesar.
