I read somewhere that I can't remember the account of a Roman senator visiting an Italian province and getting shown around by a local magistrate. The gist of the story is how ridiculous the small time provincial magistrate comes off to the visiting Roman, in that he was trying to impress him. I'm trying to figure out if provincial politicians, city leaders, went so far as to emulate the senatorial class of Rome, and for example wear the purple stripe on their togas? Did anyone in the provinces consider themselves members of the Senatorial order if they weren't elected to the senate of Rome, but only a big shot in a very Romanized provincial city?
