Tribuni militum consulari potestate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (192 words) |
| It seems to have been a matter of choice of the people whether a body of Consular Tribunes, or Consuls were to be elected for a given year, and thus we see periods of either office interspersed with the other. |
| The number of Consular Tribunes varied, from 2 to 6, and because they were considered colleagues of the two Censors there is sometimes mention of the "eight tribunes". |
| The practice of electing consular tribunes ended in 366 BCE when the Lex Licinia Sextia took effect, allowing the Plebeian order access to the office of Consul. |
