Marcus Plautius Silvanus

Tribune of the plebs in 89 BCE

🏛️ Career

  1. 89 BCE
    Tribune of the Plebs

    Broughton: Along with his colleague Papirius Carbo, he carried a law to grant citizen ship to all citizens of allied states who were resident in Italy at the time, and made a declarati on before a Praetor within sixty days (a), probably superseding other legislation regarding new citizens (see 90, Consuls, on the Lex Iulia; and above, on Calpurnius). He also carried a law that fifteen persons from each tribe, chosen from the senatorial and other orders, should serve as jurymen (b). Vancura (RE 12.1155) and Rotondi (342) would attribute to this Plautius the obscure Lex Plotia Agraria (Cic. Att. 1.18.6), but Niccolini favors a date between 69 and 60 (FTP 436; see 70, Tribunes of the Plebs).
