The Letters of Cicero, Volume 1

Note 89 — XIX (A I, 14)

Evelyn S. (Evelyn Shirley) Shuckburgh translation

Fufius, though Cicero does not say so, must have vetoed the decree, but in the face of such a majority withdrew his veto. The practice seems to have been, in case of tribunician veto, to take the vote, which remained as an auctoritas senatus, but was not a senatus consultum unless the tribune was induced to withdraw.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
