Appius Claudius Sabinus (consul in -471)

Appius Claudius Crassinus Regillensis Sabinus (deceased in 470 av. J. - C.) was a politician at the beginning of the Roman République, Consul in 471 av. J. - C.

Its origins

His/her father Appius Claudius Sabinus Regillensis is the founder of the people Patricien of the Claudii while settling in Rome towards 504 av. J. - C. It is thus born in an affluent and aristocratic family, without one being able to know with certainty if it were born with Rome or in territory sabin. However, its Cognomen Sabinus points out its ascent Sabin E.

Appius Claudius grows in a Roman République still little organized: only the Magistrat S then existing is the Consul S, always of the Patricien S, which enjoy capacities equivalent to those of the former kings. Mass of the Plebeian S.A. obtained to be represented by powerful orators of the plebs. His/her father Appius Claudius, Consul in 495 av. J. - C. and senator, was announced by its intransigence vis-a-vis the agitation of the crushed Plèbe debts generated by the ceaseless wars. Itself continues in this hostility while being opposed to the bills agrarian, periodically claimed by the powerful orators of the plebs starting from 485 av. J. - C., which assert a more equitable distribution of the Roman territories ( Ager romanus ) lately conquered and monopolized by certain patricians.

Its Consul At (471)

Appuis Claudius is elected Consul for 471 av. J. - C. because of the hostility which his/her father expressed with the Plèbe. As the Patricien S wish it, he is opposed to the powerful orators, which want to make vote a law founding the election of the powerful orators of the plebs by the assembly of the plebeian ones, tribe by tribe, by excluding the vote from the Patricien S. This would reinforce the representativeness of the powerful orators and would prevent the patricians from influencing their designation.

Claudius is opposed physically to the course of the vote, with young people Patricien S. It proclaims the absence of representativeness of the powerful orators of the plebs, which in its eyes are not Magistrat S but of ordinary persons, and tries to make stop a powerful orator by one of his Licteur S. the riot thunders, which his/her colleague the Consul Titus Quinctius Capitolinus Barbatus manages of accuracy to calm while applying to the population in a way more reconciling, and by obliging Claudius to fold up itself in the Curie.

Another law opposes rich Patricien S to the people carried out by the Tribuns of the plebs, law whose vote is unceasingly pushed back by the Sénat. The powerful orators require a better distribution of the Ager publicus , monopolized by richest.

Attentive with the political agitation which weakens the Romains, their enemies Volsques and Èques carry out raids on the Roman territory. Two Roman armies are raised, ordered each one by a Consul. Furious to have had to yield in front of the powerful orators of the plebs, Appius Claudius treats its soldiers, resulting from the Plèbe, with authority and brutality. Those react by a larval strike, obeying the orders with unwillingness and slowness. More serious, they refuse the combat on line against the Volsques, and are folded up in their camp, and flee in disorder when the Volsques attack it. Demolishes militarily, Claudius exerts the most severe sanctions while making whip and decapitate all graded which left their rows, and by making decimate the remainder of the soldiers.

Its lawsuit and its death (470)

At the conclusion of its mandate of Consul, Appius Claudius became by its most unpopular excesses of the Patricien S, whereas those had made it elect like their best defender. Its extreme rigor against sound armed cannot be to him reproached, because its Imperium (consular capacity) gave him right of life and of died on its soldiers, who had not known to face the enemy. Its disastrous defeat cannot be the subject of an incrimination either, its command was more than awkward with respect to its troops but without tactical error in control of the operations.

The powerful orators of the plebs thus attack it in justice for its opposition to the agrarian law, and the defense which it takes of the Patricien S which monopolize the national goods unduly ( Ager publicus ). In spite of the recommendations of the senators which advise moderation to him, Appius Claudius retorts with the charge with arrogance and aggressiveness. It risks the exile, like Coriolan twenty years earlier. But its death by disease before the judgment is given avoids him this dishonor. Its funeral proceeds without incident, though according to Tite-Live, the Tribuns of the plebs tried to prevent that his funeral praise is pronounced.

Certain books of history allot a second to him Consul In 451 av. J. - C., confusing it with his/her son also named Appius Claudius Sabinus (Décemvir), which will commit suicide in prison before a lawsuit to be itself him also, such his/her father and its large father, alliéné the Tribuns of the plebs.
