Home > Gaius Licinius Stolo


Gaius Licinius (Calvus) Stolo, along with Lucius Sextus , was by tradition one of the two tribunes of ancient Rome that opened the consul to the plebeians. He was supposed to have been tribune from 376 BC to 367 BC.

The Leges Liciniae Sextiae limited the amount of public land that one person could hold, and regulated debts.

Although Livy describes the activities of Gaius Licinius in great detail, it is likely that they are not accurate; much of it is suspiciously similar to events in the age of the Gracchi two hundred years later, and it is quite possible that the annalist Licinius Macer invented episodes of his family's activities.
