	Consul - Biocrawler (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		According to tradition, the consulship was initially reserved for patricians; not until 367 BC did the plebeians win the right to stand for office, when the lex Licinia Sextia provided that at least one consul each year should be plebeian.
		The first plebeian consul, Lucius Sextius, was thereby elected the following year.
		Modern historians, however, have questioned the traditional account of plebeian emancipation during the Early Republic (see Conflict of the Orders), noting for instance that about thirty per cent of the consuls prior to Sextius had plebeian, not patrician, names.

	Pro L. Flacco M. Tulli Ciceronis Oratio
		"Lucius Valerius Flaccus had been praetor in Cicero's consulship, and had received the thanks of the senate for his zeal and vigor in the arrest of Catiline's accomplices; but he was now accused by Publius Laelius of rapine and oppression in the province of Asia, which had fallen to his lot after his praetorship.
		Part of the charge was on the grounds that he had prohibited the Jews from carrying out of his province the gold which they used to collect annually throughout the empire for the temple at Jerusalem, and that he had seized it all, and remitted it to Rome.
		The result of the trial is not recorded in any surviving source; Flaccus never held another magistracy and the consulship that he had been promised eluded him.

		On the eve of the consular elections for 59, the Senate sought to allot to the two future consuls for 59, as their proconsular provinces, the unprofitable supervision of forests and cattle trails in Italy.

		After the mythical expulsion of the last Etruscan civilization King Lucius Tarquinius Superbus and the ending of the Roman Kingdom, all the powers and authority of the King were alledgedly given to the newly instituted Consulship.
		According to tradition, the consulship was initially reserved for patricians and only in 367 BC the plebeians won the right to stand for this supreme office, when the lex Licinia Sextia provided that at least one consul each year should be plebeian; the first plebeian consul, Lucius Sextius, was thereby elected the following year.
		Modern historians have questioned the traditional account of plebeian emancipation during the Early Republic (see Conflict of the Orders), noting for instance that about thirty percent of the consuls prior to Sextius had plebeian, not patrician, names; probably only the chronology has been distorted.

	Roman Senate
		Customarily, all magistrates -- quaestors, tribunes of the people, aediles (both curulis and plebis), praetors, and consuls -- were admitted to the Senate, but not all senators had been magistrates; those who were not were called senatores pedarii and were not permitted to speak, functioning much like the modern parliamentary backbencher.
		Later, the social tensions between the broad factions of the Optimates and the lower class Populares became exacerbated to the point of insurrection, domestic fury and fierce civil strife; the Good Men, Lucius Cornelius Sulla, and Pompey the Great were Optimates, while Gaius Marius, Lucius Cornelius Cinna and Julius Caesar were Populares.
		The consuls alternated monthly as president of the Senate, while the princeps senatus functioned as leader of the house.

		The next figure to bring about significant change was Lucius Cornelius Sulla who marched on Rome, became victor in the civil war with Marius’ supporters and upon assuming the position of Dictator set about to rewrite the constitution, increase the power of the privileged class and disenfranchise the plebeian class.
		However, during his year as Consul in 59, his co-Consul, Marcus Calpurnius Bibulus who had also bribed his way into office, was no friend to Caesar.
		To nullify the power of Caesar, Bibulus chose to retire to the roof of his home and there to take the auguries (basically watching bird formations in the sky) for nine months.
