TRIBUNICIA, which diminished the power of the Tribuni Plebis.
UNCIARIA appears to have been a lex which lowered the rate of
interest, and to have been passed about the same time with the
Leges Sumptuariae of Sulla.
CORNĒLĬAE, which were proposed by the tribune C. Cornelius about
B.C. 67. One limited the edictal power by compelling the praetors
_Jus dicere ex edictis suis perpetuis_.--Another lex of the same
tribune enacted that no one _legibus solveretur_, unless such a
measure was agreed on in a meeting of the senate at which two
hundred members were present, and afterwards approved by the
people; and it enacted that no tribune should put his veto on such
a senatus-consultum.--There was also a Lex Cornelia concerning the
wills of those Roman citizens who died in captivity (_apud hostes_).
CORNĒLIA DE NOVIS TABELLIS, proposed by P. Corn. Dolabella, B.C. 47.
CORNĒLIA ET CAECĬLĪA, B.C. 57, gave Cn. Pompeius the
superintendence of the Res Frumentaria for five years.
CORNĒLĬA BAEBĬA DE AMBĬTU, proposed by the consuls P. Cornelius
Cethegus and M. Baebius Tamphilus, B.C. 181. This law is sometimes,
but erroneously, attributed to the consuls of the preceding year,
L. Aemilius and Cn. Baebius. [AMBITUS.]
