Roman Tribune Research Paper
A Roman Tribune is an elected official in Ancient Rome. They were in the middle of the plebs and patrician. They were mostly chosen by Chief Executives, Kings ,Consuls, or by a Military Commander. Tribunes were once one legion then expanded to ten legions. A legion is a large group of people. At first , there was only one Roman tribune in each legion. Then later became six Roman tribunes in each legion. They were from three tribes called the Ramnenses, Lucerenses, and Titienses.

Casca is trying find a way to get rid of Caesar, so he talks with Brutus. Brutus is a Roman nobleman, and also Ceasar nephew and a good friend. However, Brutus also doesn't like the fact that Rome treats Ceasar like he is more than what he
