LEX ARMINIA DE MINISTRIS TRIBVNORVM

This law is intended to bring the concept of assistants for the tribunes closer to the ancient custom.

  1. All apparitores nominated by a tribunus plebis for his assistance shall therefore be called "viatores."

  2. A viator shall be nominated by an edictum, and must be a plebeian citizen.

  3. The viator is only an apparitor [assistant], and does not share any of the special powers of a tribune, as specified in other legislation, nor may the tribune delegate these powers to these assistants. However, the viator may be delegated to execute the orders of a tribune within his tribunicia potestas.

Passed by Comitia Plebis Tributa, Yes-20; No-5; Abstain-10
