C. 195</date>. In conjunction with another tribune, L. Valerius, Fundanius

      and manners of the Roman women. Valerius and Fundanius were opposed by two members of their
      own collegium, M. Brutus and T. Brutus, and by one of the consuls of the year, M. Porcius
      Cato. But the matrons supported the proposed abrogation so strenuously and pertinaciously,
      that the law was rescinded. (See vol. i. p. 638; Liv. xxxiv.</p></div></div></body></text></TEI>
