Political Life in P&H (1 Viewer)

Most are inscriptions from what I know, basically every building contains some form of acknowledgement to politicians. However there is the frescoes in the house of Julia Felix depicting life in the forum. There is also lots of grafitti. Personally I wouldn't remember them. After all, the question will be 4 or 8 marks, and does not warrent a word for word quote in my opinion.
But if they ask us a question on political life, we'd be expected to know the the roles of the duumviri and the aediles, right? I have that information, but I don't know if I can trace it back to specific sources... I mean, would "This comes from inscriptions" be sufficient?
The duumviri and aediles are the main points in the dot-point, but there are other things. Try to give a general location of the inscriptions I guess. If the question is a 4-marker, not much detail is required at all. I don't actually have many inscriptions, other then election propoganda, 'this building was constructed under the orders of...', Nonius Balbus paid for..." and things similar. All these are basically generalised anyway.
I, for one, am screwed.
