A Caeres, ĭtis and ētis, adj., of or pertaining to Cœre, Cœritic: populus, Liv. 7, 19, 6: aquae, Val. Max. 1, 6, 9; cf.

In consequence of assisting the Romans in the Gallic war, they received the privilege of Roman citizenship, but without the jus suffragii. Hence the catalogues of such quasi-citizens were called tabulae Caerites or Caeritum, and Roman citizens, in consequence of disfranchisement inflicted by the censor, were enrolled in these, being deprived of the right of voting; hence the odious access. idea of the expression in tabulas Caerites (um) referri, to be degraded.
