grateful for their extensive conunents which helped me to finish my work. In addition to my own teachers and referees, there is a host of other scholars who have helped me along the way . I am particularly indebted to Prof. Andrew W. Lintott (Worcester College, Oxford), who read many of my early drafts. His role has been decisive in the shaping of my thoughts; we actually disagree on a number of central issues, but his critical remarks have inspired me to sharpen my arguments. Drafts of earlier versions of this work, or parts thereof, have been read also by Mr. Jaakko Aronen (University of Helsinki), Prof. Charles L. Babcock (Ohio State University), Prof. Fergus Millar (Brasenose College, Oxford), Prof. Paivi SetiiHi (University of Helsinki), Prof. Eva Margareta Steinby (All Souls College, Oxford) and Prof. T . Peter Wiseman (University of Exeter), all of whom have given me feedback in some form or another. Dr. Mika Kajava (University of Helsinki) has provided a lot of invaluable help in my work with the epigraphic evidence, whereas Ms. Marjo Lehtinen and Ms. Marja Vierros (University of Helsinki) kindly verified my observations in the papyrological material. I am most grateful to Mr. Janne P616nen (University of Oulu), and also to Mr. Simo O rmii of the lnstitutum Romanum Finlandiae, who - especially in the final stage of my work with this study - have assisted me in various ways in the libraries of Rome. I also thank Prof. Toivo Viljamaa for his permission to use

CD-ROM

discs

and other computer facilities at his department at University of Turku. It would be impossible, or at least impracticable, to specify in which particular ways I have re(:eived help from all the other persons I must thank. The following list includes the names of persons who, inter alia, have assisted me in finding material, scholars I have consulted on specific points as well as people who - in seminars, informal discussion and the like - have pointed out problems, notified me of new publications or provided useful remarks: Or. Antti Arjava (University of Helsinki), Prof. Michael H. Crawford (University College, London), Prof. Erich S . Gruen (University of California at Berkeley), Dr. Michel Hunun (Paris), Prof. Maarit Kaimio (University of Helsinki), Prof. Robert C . Knapp (University of California at Berkeley), Prof. Elio Lo Cascio (Universit3 degli studi Federico 11, Napoli), Prof. Silvio Panciera (Universit3 di Roma, La Sapienza), Prof. Ronald T. Ridley (University of Melbourne), Mr. Timo Saastamoinen (University of Turku), Prof. Olli Salomies (University of Helsinki), Mr. Pekka Tolonen (University of Turku), Mr. Kaius Tuori (University of Helsinki), Prof. Jtirgen van Ungem­ Sternberg (Universitiit Base!) and Dr. Alexander Yakobson (Hebrew U niversity, Jerusalem). Mr. Ream Barclay BA ( A bo Akademi) read my English and suggested several improvements; any extant errors are due to later alterations of the text. Last, but certainly not least, I thank my wife Pauliina Sandberg (University of Turku), herself a classical scholar, for helping me with the proofreading and for checking references and readings in the various text editions. Proceeding with the various institutions that have made my research possible, I owe the greatest debt to the Institutum Romanum Finlandiae Foundation, which has enabled me to spend altogether

five happy years in Italy, on scholarships and as the assistant of the Finnish Institute. Being able to work in Rome, wilh ils superb libraries (and good restaurants), has been indespensable. Moreover, I am most grateful to the Foundation - and to Prof. Solin in his capacity as the editor of the Acta lnstituti Romani Finlandiae - also for its decision to publish my dissertation. It should be duly recorded that I have received financial support for my work also from the Ella and Georg Ehrnrooth Foundation, the Reinhold Ekholm Foundation, the Waldemar von Frenckell Foundation, the Thure Gallen Foundation, the Ingrid, Margit and Henrik HOijer Fund, the Research Institute of the A bo Akademi Foundation, the Wihuri Foundation and the Oskar bflund Foundation. I also thank the Finland- U . S . Educational Exchange Commission (FUSEEC) for the Fulbright Grant which enabled me to spend the academic year of 1994-95 as a graduate student at University of California at Berkeley. Due to the heavy work load at the AHMA-group (Ancient History and Mediterranean Archaeology) I had little time to pursue my own research, but my year there taught me skills that have been most useful in my work with this study . Finally, I dedicate this work to the memory of my father, Sven-Erik Sandberg ( 1 946- 1 999). Turku, July 200 1

1. INTRODUCTION

1 . 1 . THE THEME: POPULAR ASSEMBLIES, LEGISLATION AND LAWS The Popular Assemblies The sovereignty of the populus Romanus was, at least in theory, the very foundation of the republican constitution. 1 Exactly to what extent this notion was more than a mere ideological conception is still a matter for debate, but it remains an indisputable fact that the popular vote was essential to the operation of the Roman state. Only the people could confer magistracies (and bestow imperium), pass judgement on capital crimes and , indeed, make law. 2 The popular will found expression in the decisions of the popular assemblies, which could be summoned only by a magistrate duly invested with the ius cum populo agendi or the ius cum plebe agendi. There was a basic distinction between the comio, a mere meeting summoned for announcements or public debate, and the comitia, a voting assembly making a formal decision. 3 The voting was carried out by units, that is, by groups of citizens. On the basis of the voting units - curiae, centuriae and tribus - it is possible to distinguish several popular assemblies: the comitia curiata, the comitia cemuriata and the comitia tributa. 4 The curiate assembly, reflecting a primitive clan society, is clearly the oldest of these assemblies. There is no doubt that it was in existence already in the regal period. The origins of the curiae - which were subdivisions of the three original tribes Tities, Ramnes and Luceres - may in fact predate the emergence of Rome as a political community. 5 By the Late Republic the curiate assembly had lost whatever political importance it had formerly possessed, something which is ret1ected in the fact that the participation of the people was no longer needed; the 30 curiae were each represented by a lictor whenever it was necessary to obtain a curiate decision.6 It remained formally throughout the Republic for the transaction of certain formalities; these included the passage of the lex curiata de imperio (which

at Rome during Sulla 's absence; we proceed by noting that he returned to Italy with his army in 83. 1 1 In the end of the following year, by his viciOry at the Porta Collina, Sulla regained control of the capital. This time the opposition was drenched in blood; hundreds, if not thousands of his opponents lost their lives in the notorious proscriptions.12 But eager to legalize his position Sulla had himself appointed dictator, an office that had been in abeyance since the late third century BC. However, it re-emerged in a new form, since there was no precedence for a dictator legibus scribendis et rei publicae constiruendae. 1 3 This new office, which was not (as in former times)

limited to six months, was created by a law of the interrex L . Valerius Flaccus. 14 By virtue of his dicatorship Sulla initiated a legislative programme designed to put the Senate in firm control of the state machinery. 1 5 Again, Appian provides the only continuous account of these reforms, 16 but additional details emerge from other sources. The Sullan reforms were, above all, directed against the tribunate. As we have seen, Sulla had already in 88 made an attempt to curtail the tribunician power. At this point it was reduced to such an extent that, in Appian's words, it seemed to be destroyed. However, he gives no details, except that the dictator debarred by law former tribunes from further offices, thus making the tribunate unattractive to men of reputation or family. Livy, or his epitomator, states that Sulla reduced the potesras of the tribunes and deprived them altogether of their right of introducing legislation.

According to Velleius Paterculus, the dictator lefl the tribunicia potestas a mere form without substance. The author of the De viris illusrribus, a late source, merely states that Sulla diminished the tribunician power. 11 The exact implications of these statements are still a matter for debate, 18 but it seems clear - even if the full details remain irrecoverable - that the activity of the tribunes became subject to senatorial control. 19 It is often asserted that Sulla put restrictions on the ius 11

the text the rest of the tribunician college is sometimes added, since the colleagues of Antonius, Cornelius and Fundanius are known from another inscription.40 Two of the tribunes of 67 are connected with legislation by technical terminology. C. Cornelius is recorded as the promulgator of a law that l imited the right of the Senate to grant dispensation from the laws,41 but it is known that he was responsible for the promulgatio of a number of other laws as well.42 His colleague A. Gabinius passed the law by which Pompey received his unprecedented proconsular conunand against the pirates. Gabinius is connected with the promulgatio of this measure.4 3 In the consular elections for the year 65 P. Cornelius Sulla and P. Autronius Paetus were elected, but having been convicted of ambitus both were not only disqualified, but also expelled from the Senate. In December of 64, that is, soon after entering office, the tribune L. Caecilius Rufus proposed a law that would have cancelled part of the penalty prescribed by the lex Calpumia, the applicable law concerning the crime in question. Caecilius is attested as the promulgator of the bill. 44 The famous agrarian bill which was opposed by Cicero in his three

speeches De lege agraria comra Rullum was proposed by one of Caecilius' colleagues, P. Servilius Rullus, immediately upon entering office in December of 64. The tribune is recorded as the promulgator of the Jaw by both Cicero and Pliny the Elder. 45

In 61 M. Autidius Lurco enacted a lex de ambitu. This measure, for which the tribune is recorded as the promulgator, decriminalized a mere promise to bribe, but provided that a candidate convicted of having fulfilled such a promise should be liable for life of an annual fine.46 In the following year the tribune L. Flavius proposed an agrarian law, by which public land would have been assigned to Pompey's veterans. This initiative failed due to strong opposition

blows which came to mark the beginning of the decline of the once so important island . In the prescript of the law, which represems an anempt to provide for the recovery of Delos , the consuls of 58 - A . Gabinius and L . Calpurnius Piso Caesoninus - appear as its rogatores. -w As we saw in the previous section of this chapter. numerous efforts were made by various tribunes to pass a law recalling Cicero from his exile in the period 58-57. Among curule magistrates working on his recall we find the praetor L. Caecilius Rufus, who together with almost the entire praetorian college promulgated a bill to that effect in 57.81 The law that eventually restored Cicero from his exile was promulgated by the consul P. Cornelius Lentulus Spinther in the same yearY Cicero was later proud of the fact that almost all magistrates had promulgated bills calling for his return.H1 Pompey the Great, who was consul for the first time already in 70. is attested as promulgator of statutes in his second and third consulships, that is, in 55 and 52. In 55 he promulgated a judicial Jaw affecting the composition of the criminal juries.c lilllnd in the Appendix 11: those memioncU by Cicero before 43 BC - in the end of which year he was killed - must rder to laws cnacted by Caesar.

In the 80's the passage of two leges Valeriae is recorded. However, it must be noted that these statutes were passed by different persons. The law of L . Valerius (RE 1 78) Flaccus, consul suffectus in 86, cancelled three�quarters of all debts. 101 The second lex Valeria - which we

encountered already in chapter 2 . 3 - is remarkable, in the constitutional history of the Republic, as it is the only known instance of interregnal legislation. In 82 the interrex L . Valerius (RE 1 76) Flaccus, who had been consul in 100 rogether with C. Marius, passed a law creating the office of dicraror legibus scribendis er reipublicae constituendae. This law also contained provisions confirming many of Sulla 's previous actions. 100

It is clear that L. Cornelius Sulla (cos. 88 and 80, dictator 82-8 1 ) introduced a number of laws, that is, other than the constitutional measures we have already discussed. There are in the sources a vast number of references to leges Corneliae. w3 He is not attested as the promulgator or the rogator of any law, but he seems to have carried a law depriving some rebellious cities of their Roman citizenship, along with part of their territories, in the cemuriate assembly . 1().1 He may also have passed a sumptuary law himself in a popular assembly, 105 but there is no need to postulate that all of his legislation was comitial . 106 By virtue of a law of the imerrex L. Yalerius Flaccus he was dicwwr legibus scribendis e1 reipublicae consriruendae in which capacity he had powers to introduce any legislation he saw tit . 107
