The Political Purpose of Servilius Rullus’ Bill
Lyubimova Olga V.
The paper analyzes Cicero’s hints at the “architects” of Servilius Rullus’ agragian bill of 63 B.C.E., hostile to Pompey, and makes an attempt to identify these persons and their aims. The author argues that Crassus and Caesar stood behind the back of Servilius Rullus, and his bill should not be viewed as “Pompeian” or “anti-Pompeian”. It was a partnership proposal offered to Pompey by Crassus and Caesar. Pompey could use the law to make land allotments to his veterans, but it would be possible only if he made an alliance with its “architects”.
