Career

  • Tribunus Plebis c. 190 (Broughton MRR III) Expand
    • Carried a plebiscite referring the fate of the Campanians to the decision of the Senate (Liv. 26.33.12); possibly the author of the Lex Atilia, which made it mandatory for tutores to be appointed, where they were lacking, by the Pr. Urbanus and a majority of the Tribunes (Gaius 1.185-195; Ulp. 11-18; Iust. Inst. 1.20, pr.; see RE, Lex Atilia, no. 1; Niccolini, FTP 401f.). The law must be dated before 186 (Liv. 39.9). (Broughton MRR I)
    • Tr. pl. 210. G. Bagnani (Phoenix 6, 1952, 73) points out that the Lex Atilia de tutore dando probably followed and supplemented the Lex Plaetoria de circumscriptione adulescentium, which is to be dated shortly before 191 (see also Berger, Encyclopedic Dict. 544; MRR 2.472). This law should be dated, not in 210, but ca. 190.[26x] (Broughton MRR III)
