PResently in the verie beginning of the yeere, they proceeded to put it to the trial of a finall issue, what should become of the foresaid laws proposed by Licinius and Sextius. When the tribes were called to give their voi∣ces, and the publishers of the lawes were not hindered by the negatives of their Colleagues
comming betweene; the nobles began then, to quake for feare, and in all hast betooke them to their two last helpes and meanes of refuge, the soveraigne and absolute government, and the principall cittizen and greatest man of all others. Resolve they did to nominat a Dictator, and Marcus Furius Camillus was the man; who tooke unto him for Generall of the horsemen, L. Armilius. But when the cheefetaines & ring∣leaders of the Commons, dealt very bitterly and roughly against Camillus, he (as Livie wri∣teth) resigned up his Dictatorship. Plutarch al∣so testifieth the same: who likewise avoucheth the cause thereof, which Livie goeth about to disprove. But both Livie and Plutarch doe af∣firme, that in the rowme of Camillus thus gi∣ving over his place, there was a second Dicta∣tour created. Livie saith it was P. Manlius. Plu∣tarch suppresseth his name: but they agree both, that C. Licinius was the Generall of the horse. Howbeit, they meane not both, one and the selfesame man. For Livie saith and that tru∣ly, that it was he who had been Tribune milita∣rie in Consuls authoritie before: But Plutarch nameth him, who was the authour of the sediti∣on and of the new lawes: wherein hee faulteth. For the captaine of the foresaid sedition, was this yeere also made Tribune of the Commons the ninth time: but Tribune of the Commons and Generall of the horse at one time he could not be. And therfore Onuphrius thinketh him to have beene the sonne of P. Licinius Calvus militarie Tribune, and who had to his grandfa∣ther that Pub. Licinius, who of the Commons was the first Tribune militarie. Of this, see more in his Kalender.
