Tribunesnjr

__ ﻿ __ __ The Tribunes __ The Tribunes were Roman officials the were in charge of protecting the rights of the Plebians. They were also powerful figures. That had the right to Veto(latin for I forbid) if they did not agree with a law being passed. If there was enough Vetos the law would not be passed. Tribunes also had another position. The 24 Polybuis(military tribunes) were in charge of some military decisions. Tribunes were usually young men. Often times one Tribune would propose an idea and another Tribune would veto it. The Roman Republic was the best system at the time, but every system has its problems. There were many who would disagree with each other, and alot of the times the Roman Republic was not fair to its people.
