Lex Cassia
Lex Cassia B.C. 104, proposed by the tribune L. Cassius Longinus: it deprived of their senatorial rank those who had been. convicted in a judicium publicum, or whose imperium had been taken from them by the populus (Cornel. fragm. 24, p. 451: Ascon. in Cornel. p. 78, ed. Orelli). Mommsen conjectures that it also disabled such persons from all office (Staatsrecht, i. p. 464).
