MANILIUS, GAIUS

This article appears in Volume V17, Page 581 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: MAL-MAR
MANILIUS, GAIUS , Roman
tribune
  of the
people
  in 66 B.C. At the beginning of his year of
office
  (Dec. 67) he succeeded in getting a law passed (de libertinorum suffragiis), which gave freedmen the
privilege
  of voting together with those who had manumitted them, that is, in the same tribe as their patroni; this law, however, was almost immediately declared null and void by the
senate
 . Both parties in the state were offended by the law, and Manilius endeavoured to secure the support of Pompey by proposing to confer upon him the command of the war against
Mithradates
  with unlimited
power
  (see POMPEY). The proposal was supported by Cicero in his speech, Pro lege Manilia, and carried almost unanimously. Manilius was later accused by the aristocratical party on some unknown charge and defended by Cicero. He was probably convicted, but nothing further is heard of him.
See.Cicero's speech; Dio
Cassius
  xxxvi. 2527
Plutarch
 , Pompey, 30; Vell. Pat. ii. 33; art. ROME: History, II.
