War with the Xqui and Sabin。一Th。number of .Plebeian Tribunes doubled.---The next consuls were Quintus linucius and C. TIoratius Pulvillus. As there was peace abroad at the beginning of the year, the domestic troubles began again; the same tribunes agitating for the same Law. Matters would have zone further so inflamed were the passions on both sides --had not news arrived。as tnouan it nab peen nurnoseiv arranzed. of the loss of the zarrison at Corbio in a night attack of the .}&,qui·一i ne consuls summoned a meeting of the senate; they were ordered to form. a force of all who could bear arms and march to Algidus. The contest about the Law was suspended, and a fresh struggle began about the enlistment. The consular authority was on the point of being overborne by the interference of the tribunes when a fresh alarm was created. A Sabine army had descended on the Roman fields ,for Dlunder. and were aDDroachinz the City. Thorouzhly alarmed。the tribunes allowed 占‘、尸喊‘以r the enrolment to proceed;not, however, without insisting on an agreement that since they had been foiled for five years and but slight protection to the plebeians had so far been afforded, there should henceforth be ten tribunes of the plebs elected. Necessity extorted this from the senate, with only one condition, that for the future they should not see the sa n.e tribunes in two successive years. That this agreement。几 ht not, like all the others, prove illusory, when once the war was over, the elections for tribunes were held at once. The office of tribune had existed for thirty-six years when for the first time ten were created, two from each class. It was definitely laid down。that this should be the rule in all future elections. When the enrolment was completed Minucius advanced against the Sabines, but did not find the enemy.
