THE ROMAN MOB1 P. A. Brunt P. A. Brunt Oriel CollegeOxford Search for other works by this author on: Oxford Academic Google Scholar 1Many statements can readily be verified in standard histories of Rome, or for the period covered, in Greenidge and Clay, Sources for Roman History 133-70 B.C., revised by E. W. Gray (Oxford, 1960), or under the year named in T. R. S. Broughton, Magistrates of the Roman Republic (New York, 1951). All dates are B.C. unless otherwise stated. For all matters concerning the rural plebs and veterans mentioned see my article in fl. of Rom. Stud., lii (1962), pp. 70–86. Before revising this paper I could read only parts of Ch. Meier, Res Publica Amissa (Wiesbaden, 1966), esp. pp. 95–115. J. W. Heaton, Mob Violence in the late Roman Republic (Illinois Studies in Soc. Science, xxiii, 4, 1939) is inaccurate in details and superficial in interpretation.
