Yet such was not its actual effect.

The cantonal or tribal magistrates were classified and arranged just like the magistrates of a municipality.

They even used the same titles.

The cantonal _civitas_ had its _duoviri_ and quaestors and so forth, and its _ordo_ or senate, precisely like any municipal _colonia_ or _municipium_.

So far from wearing a native aspect, this cantonal system merely became one of the influences which aided the Romanization of the country.
