- Mam. Aemyltus. Militarie Tribunes in Consuls authoritie.
- L. Quintius son of Cincinnatus. Militarie Tribunes in Consuls authoritie.
- L. Iulius. Militarie Tribunes in Consuls authoritie.
THe Tribunes of the Commons imported and prevailed, that there should be an ele∣ction holden for Tribunes militarie, rather than Consuls; making no doubt, but in the chusing of sixe (for so many now by law might be created) some of the commoners by making profession that they would be revenged for the death of Melius, would step into the place: howbeit the Commons created no more than three Tribunes with Consular authoritie, and among them L. Quintius, the son of Cincinna∣tus. In which election, Mumerius Aemylius, a right honourable man and of great worth, was by their suffrages preferred before Quintius, and Iulius they made the third. In like manner, Diodorus nameth three Tribunes militarie for this yeere; but in this fort, Manius Aemylius Mamercus, C. Iulius, and L. Quintius.
