(6) Acta populi. Enactments of the popular assembles were subsequently engraved on bronze tablets and stored in the temple of Saturn. However, Roman writers were not rigorous when referring to these sources, and it is also not likely that any of the legislation attributed to the fourth century BC was enacted then, so as a source the acta populi are not generally reliable. (7) Senatorial records. Records of senatorial meetings were from 449 BC onwards stored first in the temple of Ceres and then in the temple of Saturn. However, Roman writers made little use of these and as sources these have been generally lost. (8) Oral tradition. Individual Roman aristocratic families preserved legends about their family history and these were passed down orally and sung in ballads at feasts. However, Roman writers probably did not use these as sources and they would be unreliable anyway.
