I want to know the answer to the following question:
What individual became more powerful during the late Republic?
All the background I'm provided with is that "The rex sacrorum had become a relatively obscure priesthood with an entirely symbolic title: his religious duties still included the daily, ritual announcement of festivals and priestly duties within two or three of the latter but his most important priestly role – the supervision of the Vestals and their rites – fell to the more politically powerful and influential pontifex maximus.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: yes
