I found the wording "Furthermore, (provincial) promagistrates and generals were forbidden from passing beyond it," and the discussion following it confusing. After several rereadings I /think/ it means that promagistrates could not enter the pomerium, but I think that the explanation could be improved. Demerphq 13:45, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
The reference to anointed sovereigns doesn't seem right. Anointing monarchs didn't come about until well into the Christian era, long after the pomerium and its location has been forgotten. Unless there were ancient religions that also featured anointing of sovereigns... Bvemsd ( talk) 17:54, 16 December 2008 (UTC) Agreed, and requests for references here have not been responded to. I have removed the reference. Deipnosophista ( talk) 09:43, 24 January 2012 (UTC)
From reading this article, it sounds like to me that pomerium was a legal city limits for ancient city of Rome. Am I getting this right or does such thing as legal city limits exists in ancient world? Thanks. -- Legion ( talk) 21:00, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
I could not find anything, besides XIII, 14, 7, which gives a definition of "pomerium", but do not talks about "Trajan" and other Imperatores, so I deleted it. -- EntroDipintaGabbia ( talk) 14:49, 16 January 2014 (UTC)
