Tribunician

Tribunician is a term that refers to a member of the Roman tribune, a political office in ancient Rome. The tribunes held significant power and influence, serving as a check on the authority of the consuls and other magistrates. There were two types of tribunes: the plebeian tribunes and the military tribunes. The plebeian tribunes were elected by the plebeians and had the power to veto the actions of the consuls, while the military tribunes were appointed by the consuls and had military command. The tribunes played a crucial role in the development of Roman law and the protection of the rights of the plebeians. The office of tribune was abolished in 509 BC, but its legacy continues to influence modern political systems.
