duumvir

The central temple is believed to be that of Piety, built by M. Acilius Glabrio, the duumvir, in B.C.

On the hillside stood a Temple of Mars, vowed in the Gallic war, and dedicated by T. Quinctius the "duumvir sacris faciundis," in B.C.

But in return for its liabilities, the position of a duumvir gave undoubted power and distinction.

They announce that a duumvir or aedile or flamen will exhibit twenty or thirty pairs of combatants on the calends of May or the ides of April.

In such a case the presiding duumvir was to nominate the required number, they in turn an equal number, and the combined nominees had to designate a third set equal in number to themselves.
