Roman Republic

Setting up four plebeian pontiffs

300 BC
Roman Republic (Present-Day Rome, Italy)

In 300, the two tribunes of the plebs Gnaeus and Quintus Ogulnius passed the Lex Ogulnia, which created four plebeian pontiffs, therefore equalling the number of patrician pontiffs, and five plebeian augurs, outnumbering the four patricians in the college.
