Leges Sulpiciae
Leges Sulpiciae proposed by the tribune P. Sulpicius Galba, a supporter of Marius, B.C. 88, and enacting the recall of the exiles (Auct. ad Herenn. 2.28, 45), and the distribution of the new citizens and the libertini among all the thirty-five tribes (Ascon. in Corn. p. 64, Orelli): conferring the command in the Mithridatic war on Marius in lieu of Sulla (Vell. 2.18, 6), and prohibiting senators from incurring debts beyond 2,000 drachmae, or 20,000 asses (Plut. Sull. 8). Appian (App. BC 1.59) says that all these laws were repealed (ὡς οὐκ ἔννομα) by Sulla and Pompeius. (Cf. Liv. Epit. 77; Cic. Phil. 8.2, 7.)
