On the failure of Nicias in Thrace (418 BC-417 BC) he became the chief advocate of the Sicilian expedition, seeing an opportunity for the realization of his ambitious projects, which included the conquest of Sicily, to be followed by that of Peloponnesus and possibly of Carthage (though this seems to have been an afterthought).

From precedent to precedent, Roman citizen lawmaking grew from being applicable only to the plebs themselves in its 449 BC beginnings, to applying to the whole nation after approval by the Senate, to being the supreme law-giving of the nation in 287 BC.
In comparison with the class-struggles of the Greek city-states and of the Communes of medieval Italy, or with the internecine wars of later Roman history, the duel between patricians and plebeians was almost a model of patriotic solidarity and forbearance.
Caesar's bloody tyrannicide by those Senators on 15 March 44 BC, and the vengeful mass murders of republicans by the armies of Caesar's heir and generals created the beginning of the Republic's end.
