- Abstract
- A lot of clues tend to show that there existed an original tribunate cumulating civil and military powers up to the licinian-sextian reform (367 BC). These powers would have been split up only at this moment, with a distinction between tribuni plebis and tribuni militum, in the same time the consulship would have been definitely created (see T. P. Wiseman). Later on, when the early Roman history started to be written, the ancient reality of the original tribunate, of which the Romans themselves didn't have an accurate idea anymore, was progressively reinterpreted by anticipating a later reality. The influence of the Gracchan and Sullan times on the process of historiographical distortion is manifest.
