As a note on the previous 'teaching the Roman Republic' tweet - I always find it kind of funny that in speculative fiction (esp. fantasy) you get these simple, elegant governing systems as compared to the hilariously over-complicated kludge of actual historical governments.

So here's the thing but this guy's a tribune, so he's not elected by either the assembly that elects the consuls or the one for the quaestors, but by this other assembly. Are these assemblies different people? No, mostly the same people, organized slightly differently.

No no, no he's not a military tribune (some of which are appointed by the consuls and some of which are elected) he's a tribune of the plebs, which is a completely different and unrelated office despite both of them being called 'tribunus.' Same name, totally different job.

Oh, and despite 'tribunus' meaning 'tribal officer' the tribune of the plebs is not elected by the tribal assembly and... wait...why is everyone leaving? I haven't gotten to the interrex yet! Or the quest hook!
