course) sat in the sella curulis, when 
they performed their public duties; 
thus the consul, when he presided at 
the Comitia. Liv. •• especially the 
praetor at Rome (and the proprietor or 
proconsul in a province), when he held 
a court or publicly discharged any other 
of his official duties, Cic.; with him 
sat also his counsellors or assessors,

TRIBuNOS (tribus), i, m. properly apresi- 
dent , chief, or commander of a tribe (tribus, 
It. c. a third part; for Romulus divided 
the Romans into three parts, which 
were called tribus, and over each placed 
a tribunus, according to Ascon. in Verr. 
3, 5). Hence, in general, a president, 
a chief, commander, a tribune; of these 
there were several kinds: _ 1. Cic’. 
Tribuni .<Erarii, or, Plin. teris, tribunes 
of the treasury ; persons (not magistrates) 
who assisted the queestor; they received 
money from him and paid it, for exam¬ 
ple, to the soldiers. Cato. When, ac¬ 
cording to the Lex Aurelia, the adminis¬ 
tration of justice was divided between 
three orders of the state, the senate, 
knights, and people, the tribuni wrarii 
became judges on the part of the peo¬ 
ple. But Augustus Caisar threw them 
out again. Cic. and Sueton _2. Tri-

Tribuni militum, or, Cic. Tribuni inili- 
tares, military tribunes, tribunes of the 
army, tribunes of the soldiers. Often, 
also, called simply Tribunus, tribuni. 
Liv. and Plin. Ep. There were at first 
three of them to a legion, each com¬ 
manding a thousand men ; afterwards, 
when the number of soldiers in a legion 
was increased, there were four ; and at 
last six. The tribunes belonged only 
to the legion, and so to the Roman in¬ 
fantry ; the officers of the cavalry, aux¬ 
iliary troops, &c. were called prwfecti. 
The tribunes were called comitiati, 
when elected by the people in comitia: 
rufuli, when created by the generals. 
Liv. In later times, each tribune seems 
to have commanded a cohort; hence, 
C<e.s. and Plin. Ep. Tribuni cohortium. 
There are also mentioned Tribuni lati- 
clavii, and atigusticlavi, li. e. who wore a 
tunica laticlavia, or angusticlavia. Sue-
