The following sources assume more or less definitely an abolition of the tribunicia potestas; Sall. Hist. i. 55. 23; 77. 14; iii. 48. 1; Cat. 38. 1; Plut. Pomp. 21; Pseud. Ascon. 102. The following speak of a limitation; Caes. B. C. i. 5. 1; 7. 3; Livy, ep. lxxxix; Dion. Hal. v. 77. 5; Vell. ii. 30. 4; Suet. Caes. 5; (Aurel. Vict.) Vir. Ill. 75. 11; App. B. C. ii. 29. 113. Tacitus, Ann. iii. 27, is non-committal. In general on the lex de tribunicia potestate, see Lange, Röm. Alt. iii. 153 f.; Fröhlich, in Pauly-Wissowa, Real-Encycl. iv. 1559; Drumann-Gröbe, Gesch. Roms, ii. 410 ff.; Lengle, Sull. Verf. 10-16; Sunden, De trib. pot. imm.

[2569] The law concerning the quaestors was preceded by the judiciary statute (Tac. Ann. xi. 22), which must have been enacted near the end of 81, for the senators remained ten years (80-70) in control of the courts; Cic. Verr. i. 13. 37.
[2570] P. 347. The relation of this Cornelian provision to the lex Villia is not more definitely known.

[2573] In the thirty-sixth year of his age Pompey was not yet qualified for the quaestorship; Cic. Imp. Pomp. 21. 62. Cicero, who was consul in his forty-third year, states that he obtained the office at the earliest legal age; Leg. Agr. ii. 2. 3. An interval of two years between successive offices would place the quaestorship in the thirty-seventh year; cf. Mommsen, Röm. Staatsr. i. 527, 569; Fröhlich, in Pauly-Wissowa, Real-Encycl. iv. 1560; but soon after Sulla it came about, probably through further legislation, that the office was often filled in the thirty-first year; Mommsen, ibid. 570 ff.
