You're thinking Rome, not Greece. And it wasn't the consuls who did this, it was the Aedile, one of the lower rings on the political ladder. This was how they gained favor to rise up the ranks.

    You are right. In Athens, it was only required to be rich and, in case of fraudulent use of the city’s funds, the funds would be recouped from the personal patrimony. No direct use. Thanks! I got mixed up
