.Abstract-. From the episode of the auspicial irregularity committed by Tiberius Sempronius Gracchus (consul in 163 B.C.) in pitching the augural tent in Scipio's Gardens, it appears that the holding of the Centuriate Assembly (the « urban army ») in the Campus Martius required neither military power (imperium militiae) nor correlative auspices of departure (or similar auspices), but only a civilian power (imperium domi) and the correlative auspices for coming into office, in no way contradictory to the taking of military auspices between the pomerium and the first mile, such as the auspicium peremne relating to the crossing of the river Petronia.
