Editing Roman censor (section)

====Census beyond Rome====
A census was sometimes taken in the provinces, even under the Republic.<ref>Cicero ''[[In Verrem]]'' ii.53, 56.</ref> The emperor sent into the provinces special officers called ''censitores'' to take the census;<ref>Dig. 50 tit.15 s4 § 1; Cassiod. Var. ix.11; Orelli, Inscr. No. 3652.</ref> but the duty was sometimes discharged by the Imperial ''[[Legatus|legati]]''.<ref>[[Tacitus]] Ann. i.31, ii.6.</ref> The ''censitores'' were assisted by subordinate officers, called ''censuales'', who made out the lists, etc.<ref>Capitol. Gordian. 12; Symmach. Ep. x.43; Cod. Theod. 8 tit.2.</ref> In Rome, the census was still taken under the Empire, but the old ceremonies connected with it were no longer performed, and the ceremony of the ''lustratio'' was not performed after the time of [[Vespasian]]. The jurists [[Julius Paulus|Paulus]] and [[Ulpian]] each wrote works on the census in the imperial period; and several extracts from these works are given in a chapter in the ''Digest'' (50 15). <!-- Could we link this digest? --> <!--The first few lines of this section are confusing; first it talks about the Republic, and then immediately following talks about the Emperor; later it talks about the Empire again. But if the sentence beginning "The Emperor" really refers to the Republic, should we change the title of that office to Censor or Consul? The Empire didn't really begin until 27 BC under Augustus-->
