Tribune of the Plebs

G
C. Papius
1 magistracy
Go to term

Broughton: Carried a law intended to check illegal assumption of citizen rights by expelling from Rome all foreigners who resided beyond the limits of Italy (a). Dio's phrase, #, indicates that the Transpadane region was treated as part of Italy under this law. In Val. Max. 3.4.5 this law appears to be confused with some other, perhaps the Iunian. Perperna could not have been affected by the Lex Papia in 65. Rotondi (376f.) attributes a Lex Papia on the selection of Vestal Virgins to this Tribune (b), but Niccolini would place it much earlier, though after 253 (FTP 382f.).
