Legati and lictores

[D B Campbell]

As far as I know, nobody knows for certain how many lictors a legatus legionis had.

I was just browsing von Domaszewski, and thought it might be interesting to list his version of the officium of a consular legate:

• 1 centurion as princeps praetorii
  3 cornicularii (assisted by adiutores)
  3 commentarienses (assisted by adiutores)
  10 speculatores per legion
  60 beneficiarii
  numerous minor grade scribae, librarii, stratores, ...
  numerous pedites and equites singulares
  

Since lictors traditionally acted as an honour guard and as jailers/executioners, roles clearly filled by some of the gentlemen listed above, I wonder if the Republican tradition of providing a governor with lictors died out during the 1st C AD.

(I don't remember Pliny mentioning lictors ...)
