[2134] They were not in force in 196 (Livy xxxiii. 42. 1) or in 194 (Livy xxxiv. 53. 1 f.; xxxv. 9. 7). On the other hand Cicero’s description (Dom. 20. 51; Leg. Agr. ii. 8. 21) of these laws as veteres should place them a hundred years or more before his time. The two passages of Cicero are the only sources; cf. Lange, Röm. Alt. i. 919; ii. 315 f., 655; Herzog, Röm. Staatsverf. i. 835. Mommsen, Röm. Staatsr. i. 501, thinks they may have resulted from the Gracchan agitation.
