Consul edit

Lentulus, with the eventual support of his colleague, who had been an enemy of Cicero, worked loyally for Cicero's recall from exile (a), and carried a bill for his restoration through the centuriate assembly (b). Lentulus also aided Cicero to recover his house (c). The Consuls drew up a bill to place Pompey in charge of the grain supply (d). Metellus impeded Milo's attempt to prosecute Clodius and aided the latter's candidacy for the aedileship (e).
