The Roman assemblies from their origin to the end of the Republic

by George Willis Botsford

[2264] Plut. Ti. Gracch. 10; cf. Greenidge, Hist. of Rome, i. 121; Strachan-Davidson’s explanation (Appian, p. 13) seems to be incorrect.

[2265] Livy, ep. lviii; Plut. Ti. Gracch. 10-3; App. B. C. i. 12 f.; Cic. N. D. i. 38. 106.

[2266] Livy, ep. lviii; App. B. C. i. 13. 55; Vell. ii. 2. 3; Flor. ii. 2. 6.

[2267] P. 347 f.

[2268] Lange, Röm. Alt. iii. 13.

[2269] Livy, ep. lviii: “Promulgavit et aliam legem agrariam, qua sibi latius agrum patefaceret, ut iidem triumviri iudicarent, qua publicus ager, qua privatus esset.”

[2270] CIL. i. 552-5, 583; ix. 1024 f.

[2271] B. C. i. 19. 78 f. The context indicates that in Appian’s opinion the people had nothing to do with the measure.

[2272] Lange, Röm. Alt. ii. 688 (cf. iii. 22) and Greenidge, Hist. of Rome, i. 158, suppose without evidence that Scipio effected his object by means of a law.
