This was the original position responsible for appointing a lieutenant named the Master of the Horse. While serving in this post, one man was given the epithet "Cunctator," mocking his delaying tactics. Another man was informed he had been named to this position while he was (*) plowing his farm, which he returned to once he had finished serving. This position was formally abolished by the Lex Antonia and it was given to Cincinnatus in 439 BC. Julius Caesar was voted into this position "in perpetuity."
