Document Summary
Chain of minor colonies placed around the defected allies to keep an eye on them. It was made an example for the rest of the allies. Powerful aristocratic republican families had been acquiring more and more land over time . ignoring provisions of the licinian sextian rogations. Why should they have to give up land if it had been if the family generations already: roman power over seas. They had aquired much more land to oversee since the hannibalic war. Had to figure out the best way to manage it. Total praetors = 4 being sent over seas. Stand in place of a praetor or consul. Ix. consuls being elected who have no familial tie to consulship are rare: provincial administration in spain and sicily. 9 communities were subject to this tax law. No paper trails to hold anyone accountable for paying this tax unless person is significant.
