43 The circumstances in which governors became involved in local affairs are very
diverse. They included subsistence crises and other emergencies. See ch.5.
44 Here we differ from the canonical account of Jones (1940), ch. XI, 170–91, who

‘In Asia the character of the council had already by Cicero’s day been
transformed: the members now sat for life... The fi nal step was taken by
Pompey’ (p.171).

46 Reynolds (1982).
47 Garnsey (1974).
48 Nutton (1978), at 221. Brown (1978), ch.1 is a brilliant evocation of the change
in the atmosphere of local government.
