One text written by this position's holders was shown by Bruce Frier to have been passed on to later historians through Verrius Flaccus's Res memoriae dignae. Frier showed that that text was not actually published by P. Mucius Scaevola, a holder of this position. Scaveola did not stop an earlier holder, Scipio Nasica Serapio, from invoking its duties by pulling a toga over his head to order the death of (*) Tiberius Gracchus. Per the Lex Ogulnia, the plebeian Coruncanius held this position that Marcus Aurelius held instead of Lucius Verus. In the Res Gestae, Augustus said he only took this title when Marcus Lepidus died even though Julius Caesar had held it until his death. For 10 points, name this position in charge of the major flamines and the rex sacrorum because it was given to the head of the Roman college of priests.
