Gaius Licinius Stolo
(Redirected from C. Licinius Stolo)
- This article is about the ancient Roman tribune. For the Native American tribe, see Stó:lo.
Gaius Licinius (Calvus) Stolo, along with Lucius Sextus , was according to tradition one of the two tribunes of ancient Rome that opened the consulship to the plebeians. Records indicate he was tribune from 376 BC to 367 BC, during which he passed the Leges Liciniae Sextiae limiting 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 his description is 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.
