Needs more refs Suggestion edit

This article relies heavily on the a single work (Forsyth's) which is idiosyncratic in several viewpoints. It could use other sources, e.g., Cornell, Lintott. - Eponymous-Archon (talk) 02:57, 13 December 2015 (UTC)Reply

Re recent reverts edit

I reverted some edits from an IP. This was for the following reasons.

  • The paragraph with the incipit "Modern scholars" interjected into the Traditional account section is both duplication of the same paragraph I wrote later in Re-evaluation but also was done so without citing sources.
  • Some paragraphs were written which were wholly unsourced while overwriting sourced material. The new version also was wrong: there were never two consular tribunes elected.

I also added some stuff from Lomas' 2018 book, which provides a decent handling of the topic from a modern perspective. Ifly6 (talk) 15:47, 29 August 2022 (UTC)Reply
