Tribuni militum consulari potestate

The Tribuni militum consulari potestate, or Consular Tribunes were tribunes elected with consular power during the Conflict of the Orders in the Roman Republic, starting in 444 BC and then continuously from 408 BC to 394 BC, and again from 391 BC to 367 BC.

According to the histories of Livy and Dionysius of Halicarnassus, the magistracy of the Tribuni militum consulari potestate was created during the Conflict of the Orders, along with the magistracy of the Censor, in order to give the Plebian order access to higher levels of government, without having to reform the office of Consul; plebeians could be elected to the office of Consular Tribune.

It seems to have been a matter of choice of the people whether a body of Consular Tribunes, or Consuls were to be elected for a given year, and thus we see periods of either office interspersed with the other. The number of Consular Tribunes varied, from 2 to 6, and because they were considered colleagues of the two Censors there is sometimes mention of the "eight tribunes".

The practice of electing consular tribunes ended in 366 BC when the Lex Licinia Sextia took effect, allowing the Plebeian order access to the office of Consul.
