“After the restoration of
the power of the tribunes in the consulship of Pompey and Crassus, this very
important office was obtained by certain men whose youth intensified their natural aggressiveness. These tribunes began to
rouse the mob by inveighing against the Senate, and then inflamed popular
passion still further by handing out
bribes and promises, whereby they won renown and influence for themselves.
They were strenuously opposed by most of the nobility, who posed as defenders
of the Senate but were really concerned to maintain their own privileged position.”
