By this, Plutarch probably means that as Plebeian Tribune, Metilius had the Plebeian Council, a popular assembly which only Tribunes could preside over, grant Minucius quasi-dictatorial powers.

* Tribuni angusticlavii, Narrow Band Tribunes: Each legion had five more junior tribunes.

Tribunes, the only true representatives of the people, had the authority to enforce the right of provoco ad populum, which was a theoretical guarantee of due process, and a precursor to the common law concept of habeas corpus.

This story was circulating in Chicago even before the flames had died out, and it was noted in the Chicago Tribunes first post-fire issue.

The Tribunes June 7, 1942, front page announcement that America had broken Japan's naval code was actually the potential revelation of a closely guarded military secret by the paper.

In 1986, the Tribune announced that celebrated film critic Gene Siskel, the Tribunes best-known writer, was no longer the paper's film critic, and that his position with the paper had shifted from being that of a full-time film critic to that of a free-lance contract writer who was to write about the film industry for the Sunday paper and also provide capsule film reviews for the paper's entertainment sections.

Both were replaced by Jane Hirt, who previously had been the editor of the Tribunes RedEye tabloid.

When ordinary citizens are confronted with tyranny, he wrote, ordinary citizens have to suffer it ( whereas in the Mandate of Heaven and in the theology of the Jesuits Bellarmine and Mariana, they have the right to rebellion and tyrannicide ), but magistrates have the duty to " curb the tyranny of kings ," as had the Tribunes in ancient Rome, the Ephori in Sparta, and the Demarchs in ancient Athens -- and indeed the Censorate of China.

These individuals, the so-called Consular Tribunes (" Military Tribunes with Consular powers " or tribuni militares consulari potestate ) were elected by the Century Assembly ( the assembly of soldiers ), and the senate had the power to veto any such election.

These Tribunes had the power to veto the laws of the Senate.

One of the Plebeian Tribunes ( chief representatives of the people ) for the year, Metilius, was a partisan of Minucius, and as such he sought to use his power to help Minucius.

" The analogy is mostly with the original function of the Tribunes as champions of the downtrodden and disadvantaged in Roman society, rather than with the later technical Roman governmental usage giving legitimacy to Imperial power.

The Senate then voted that Julius Caesar ( still in Gaul ) be removed from power in favor of Pompey, but the Tribunes were able to block this decree.

The senate realized the need to use Plebeian officials to accomplish desired goals, and so to win over the Tribunes, the senators gave the Tribunes a great deal of power, and unsurprisingly, the Tribunes began to feel obligated to the senate.

They wished to limit the power of the popular assemblies and the Tribunes of the Plebs, and to extend the power of the Senate, which was viewed as more dedicated to the interests of the aristocrats who held the reins of power.

The tribuni militum consulari potestate (" military tribunes with consular authority "), in English commonly also Consular Tribunes, were tribunes elected with consular power during the so-called " Conflict of the Orders " in the Roman Republic, starting in 444 BC and then continuously from 408 BC to 394 BC and again from 391 BC to 367 BC.

The Plebeian Tribunes were the only magistrates independent of the Dictator, and so with his protection, Minucius was relatively safe.

Sometimes the tribune brought the case before the College of Tribunes or the Plebeian Council for a trial.

The Plebeian Council elected two ' Plebeian Magistrates ', the Plebeian Tribunes and the Plebeian Aediles.

However, the Patricio-Plebeian aristocracy in the senate still retained other means by which to control the Plebeian Council, in particular the closeness between the Plebeian Tribunes and the senators.

The Plebeians named these new officials Plebeian Tribunes ( tribuni plebis ), a name they probably took from the military officers (" Military Tribunes " or tribuni militum ) who led them during their secession.

The Tribunes were given two assistants, called Plebeian Aediles ( aediles plebi ).

This gave the Plebeian Tribunes, who presided over the Plebeian Council, a positive character for the first time.

In addition, during these years, the Plebeian Tribunes and the senators grew increasingly close.

As the Tribunes and the senators grew closer, Plebeian senators were often able to secure the Tribunate for members of their own families.

It should therefore not be viewed as the final triumph of democracy over aristocracy, since, through the Tribunes, the senate could still control the Plebeian Council.

After successfully delaying the passage of the bill in the Senate, Caesar was forced to take the bill to the Century Assembly, where Bibulus was able to secure the support of three Plebeian Tribunes in order to block the passage of the bill.

In 1863 he was assigned to teach a University course of history, on the subject „ About the History of the Roman Republic from the Introduction of Plebeian Tribunes until the Death of Julius Caesar Especially Regarding the Economical and Political Progress ”.

This law should not be viewed as the final triumph of democracy over aristocracy, since, through its close relations with the Plebeian Tribunes, the senate could still control the Plebeian Council.

After a highly publicized dispute with the Tribunes executive editor, Ann Marie Lipinski, over limiting all Tribune columns to just 650 or so words, Bayless decided to leave Chicago and was immediately hired by Knight Ridder Corporation to write for its flagship newspaper, the San Jose Mercury News.

Even after it lost its powers, the Curiate Assembly continued to be presided over by Consuls and Praetors, and was subject to obstruction by Roman Magistrates ( especially Plebeian Tribunes ) and unfavorable omens ( as were the other assemblies ).

The Tribunes chief adversary through this period was the Chicago Times, which supported the Democrats.

In April 1994, the Tribunes new television critic, Ken Parish Perkins, wrote an article about then-WFLD-TV morning news anchor Bob Sirott in which Perkins quoted Sirott as making a statement that Sirott later denied making.

In a 2007 statement of principles published in the Tribunes print and online editions, the paper's editorial board described the newspaper's philosophy, from which is excerpted the following:

These actions violated Octavius ' right of sacrosanctity and worried Tiberius ' supporters, and so instead of moving to depose him, Tiberius commenced to use his veto on daily ceremonial rites in which Tribunes were asked if they would allow for key public buildings, for example the markets and the temples, to be opened.

* Tribounos – translation of Latin tribune ; responsible for maintenance of roads, monuments, and buildings in Constantinople ( which were the responsibility of the Aedile, not the Tribunes in earlier Latin speaking times.

The Plebeians, by now exhausted and bitter, demanded real concessions, so the Tribunes C. Licinius Stolo and L. Sextius passed a law in 367 BC ( the " Licinio-Sextian law "), which dealt with the economic plight of the Plebeians.

In his later work, Our Nine Tribunes: The Supreme Court in Modern America, however, Lusky includes facsimiles of the original drafts of the footnote, the first of which is in his own hand.

Tribunes could also be appointed by the consuls or by military commanders in the field as necessary.

Tribunes could also use their sacrosanctity as protection when physically manhandling an individual, such as when arresting someone.

* Edgar Degas — 43 paintings including The Parade, also known as Race Horses in front of the Tribunes, The Bellelli Family, The Tub, Portrait of Édouard Manet, Portraits, At the Stock Exchange, L ’ Absinthe

Besides Shakespeare, he also translated a number of other works from English into Japanese, including Sir Walter Scott's The Bride of Lammermoor and Bulwer-Lytton's novel Rienzi, the Last of the Roman Tribunes.

New York magazine is also a descendant of the Herald Tribune, having originally been the Herald Tribunes Sunday magazine, a livelier version of The New York Times Magazine.

Tribune also launched daily newspapers targeting urban commuters, including the Chicago Tribunes RedEye edition in 2002, followed by an investment in AM New York one year later.
