| Because the tribunate was a largely honorific function, this was a remarkable sign of devotion to duty. |
| The constitution of 1799 created an appointed senate, which chose members of a tribunate and a legislative body from the departmental lists. |
| Between the years 133 and 70 B.C.E., the tribunate was used by a number of men for reforms. |
| From the commencement of the tribunate, that office had been reserved for the Plebeians. |
| The committee, however composed, is the tribunate, the representative body of the electorate's choosing. |
| Other magistracies, the aedileship and the tribunate of the plebs, might be held between quaestorship and praetorship, but were not obligatory. |
