Gaius Licinius Stolo
Gaius Licinius Stolo was a politician of the Roman Republic in the 4th century BC. Chr.
Stolo was from 376 to 367 BC. Eight times tribune . Together with Lucius Sextius Lateranus he applied in 367 BC The Leges Liciniae Sextiae , which gave plebeians access to the office of consul and limited the amount of public land ( ager publicus ) a person could occupy. While Sextius Lateranus became consul in the coming year, Stolo did not hold the consulate until 361.
Although Titus Livius describes Stolo's activities in great detail, it is possible that the information is incorrect; much of it is very similar to the events of the Gracchi two hundred years later, and it is quite possible that the chronicler Gaius Licinius Macer simply made up this part of the family history.
Stolo was probably much hated and is 357 BC. Was politically overthrown by condemnation - according to Livius for breaking his own agricultural law.
