The Mamilian commission (also called the rogatio Mamilia)hearsay evidence and at the caprice of the commons".[2]
In its first year, it convicted four men of
Plebeian Council, which changed the jury pool from solely the equestrians to a mix of equestrians and Senators.[4]
One of the long-term consequences of the commission – trending into the repeated consulships of Gaius Marius – was to inculcate a general feeling that the existing senatorial leadership (the nobiles) were failing in their responsibility to look after the state and defeat Rome's enemies.[5]
