      abstract = {Studies of Roman politics have traditionally emphasized  individual personalities or groups of personalities and  have explained political behavior in terms of contests for  individual power or group power. By contrast, Roberta  Stewart focuses on the religious institution of the  allotment of duties among elected officials as a primary  control on Roman politics. She examines in detail the  procedure of allotment, the roles of popular election and  allotment in defining public authority and duty, and the  relationship between the Roman Senate and elected  officials. Allotment is seen to reflect Republican ideology  about the divine sanction of Roman leadership, military  enterprise, and empire.},
