Note 436 — Chapter II · THE GROWTH OF THE REPUBLICAN CONSTITUTION
Reading edition
Liv. v. 12. This is maintained to be an error by Mommsen, Röm. Forsch. i. 66; Staatsr. ii. p. 188. He holds that in 445 B.C. one L. Atilius Longus was a Plebeian, and that in 400, 399, 396 the Plebeians had a majority. Livy’s view is upheld by Willems Le Sénat i. 58-60.
