[Footnote 222:  See the Life of Brutus.]

[Footnote 224:  Pro Consule was the title of a Roman general who was sent to a province with consular authority.  It was not unusual to appoint a man Pro Consule who had not been ‘consul.’  The point of the reply lies in the form of the expression ‘Pro Consule,’ which was a title, as contrasted with ‘Pro Consulibus,’ which means ’instead of the consuls, to displace the consuls.’  The expression of L. Philippus is recorded by Cicero (Pro Lege Manilia, c. 21).  Pompeius went to Iberia B.C. 76.]

[Footnote 225:  The death of Sertorius took place B.C. 72.  As to the death of Perperna, see the Life of Sertorius, c. 26.  The allusion to Sicily will be explained by referring to c. 10; but there is nothing there stated for which Pompeius needed to show any gratitude to Perperna.  We may assume that Perperna left the island, because he could not safely stay.]

[Footnote 226:  The war in Spain was not quite settled by the death of Perperna.  There was still some work left to do.  Several towns held out, particularly in the country of the warlike Arevaci, who were on the east coast of Spain.  Pompeius burnt Uxama; and L. Afranius conducted the war with unsparing severity against the Calaguritani who made a desperate resistance. (Floras, iii. 22.) The capture of their town ended the war.  Drumann, Geschichte Roms, Pompeii, p. 376.]

[Footnote 227:  The history of the Servile war is in the Life of Crassus, c. 11, &c.]

[Footnote 228:  This was in B.C. 71.  In B.C. 70 Pompeius was consul for the first time with M. Licinius Crassus.]

[Footnote 229:  Sulla had not abolished the tribunitian office, but he had deprived the tribunes of the chief part of their power.  It does not seem exactly certain what Sulla did.  Appianus (Civil Wars, i. 100) says ’that he weakened it very much and carried a law by which no man after being tribune could hold any other office.’  Cicero (De Legibus, iii. 9) considers the extension of the tribunitian power as unavoidable, and as effected with the least mischief by being the work of Pompeius.]

[Footnote 230:  A Cornelia Lex, passed in the time of Sulla, made the Judices in the Judicia Publica eligible only out of the body of Senators.  That the Senators had acted corruptly in the administration of justice, we have the authority of Cicero in one of his Verrine orations (In Verr. A 1, 13 and 16).  The measure for restoring the Equites to a share in the judicial functions was proposed by the praetor L. Aurelius Cotta, the uncle of C. Julius Caesar, with the approbation of Pompeius and Caesar, who were now acting in concert.  The charges of corruption which Cotta made against the Senate are recorded by Cicero (In Verr. iii. 96).  The proposed
