Consuls
Broughton: Elected by violence after an interregnum (a), they then administered the other elections in favor of their candidates (b; see Praetors, on Vatinius). Pompey carried a law to limit the selection of jurymen to the highest rating in the census (c); and dedicated his theater, portico, and temple of Venus Victrix with sumptuous games (d), while Crassus carried a Lex de sodaliciis, in which the selection of jurors to judge offences under it was limited to five tribes with right of rejection of only one (e). Under the Lex Trebonia(1) (see Tribunes of the Plebs, on Trebonius) Pompey received command of Spain for five years and Crassus of Syria for a like term. Both then carried a bill which either explicitly or in effect prolonged Caesar's term in Gaul for five years, since it forbade the discussion of a successor before March 1, 50 (f). Crassus departed for Syria in November, amid tribunicial opposition and evil omens (g), while Pompey remained in Italy and governed his provinces by means of Legates (h).

- (2) The name of this law shows that it is not identical with Caesar's Lex Agraria, despite the identity of certain clauses as quoted by Callistratus in Dig. 47.21.3 (Fabricius, SBAH 1924-1925, Abh. 1, 11-15; identified by Rudorff, and after him by Mommsen, Ges. Schr. 5.200f.). But that same identity indicates a date in the Caesarian period and a connection with his program. Moreover, several of the names mentioned belong to persons who were prominent in this period (see above, on Roscius and Allienus). A date between 59 and 56 is excluded because the names of the Tribunes known in each of these years do not leave room for this group of five. This year on the other hand is appropriate since Pompey and Crassus were in command of the government in Rome, there are vacant places on the list for these Tribunes, and the interval between this year and that of the praetorships of Roscius and Allienus is a normal one. The Fabius who was Tribune this year and a Legate under Caesar thereafter should be distinguished from the Praetor of 57. It is probable that the law was passed to regulate problems that had arisen in the formation of municipalities and the regulation of their land as the commissioners under the Lex Agraria of Caesar continued their task. They were probably active through much of this decade, as there was still some land undistributed in 50 (Cael. in Cic. Fam. 8.10.4).

- (2) The name of this law shows that it is not identical with Caesar's Lex Agraria, despite the identity of certain clauses as quoted by Callistratus in Dig. 47.21.3 (Fabricius, SBAH 1924-1925, Abh. 1, 11-15; identified by Rudorff, and after him by Mommsen, Ges. Schr. 5.200f.). But that same identity indicates a date in the Caesarian period and a connection with his program. Moreover, several of the names mentioned belong to persons who were prominent in this period (see above, on Roscius and Allienus). A date between 59 and 56 is excluded because the names of the Tribunes known in each of these years do not leave room for this group of five. This year on the other hand is appropriate since Pompey and Crassus were in command of the government in Rome, there are vacant places on the list for these Tribunes, and the interval between this year and that of the praetorships of Roscius and Allienus is a normal one. The Fabius who was Tribune this year and a Legate under Caesar thereafter should be distinguished from the Praetor of 57. It is probable that the law was passed to regulate problems that had arisen in the formation of municipalities and the regulation of their land as the commissioners under the Lex Agraria of Caesar continued their task. They were probably active through much of this decade, as there was still some land undistributed in 50 (Cael. in Cic. Fam. 8.10.4). See Rudolph, Stadt und Staat im römischen Italien 186ff., esp. 196-198; rev. by H. S. Jones, JRS 26 (1936) 270f.; L. R. Taylor, Studies Presented to Professor A. C. Johnson pp. 68-78; on the Lex Mamilia of 109, see 109, Tribunes of the Plebs, and note 2.

Broughton: The authors of the Lex Mamilia Roscia Alliena Peducaea Fabia(2) (Riccobono, Font. Iur. Rom. Anteiustin. 1. 138-140, quoted from Lachmann, Rdm. Feldmesser 1.263). See Rudolph, Stadt und Staat im römischen Italien 186ff., esp. 196-198; H. S. Jones, JRS 26 (1936) 270f.; L. R. Taylor, Stud. Presented to A. C. Johnson pp. 68-78, and above, 109, Tribunes of the Plebs, and note 2. The law apparently dealt with the extension of municipal organization in connection with Caesar's agrarian law and the activities of the land commissioners.
