Lex Trebonia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Lex Trebonia was passed in 55 BC during the Consulship of Marcus Licinius Crassus and Gnaeus Pompeius Magnus. The Law ensured that, through the Tribune Trebonius, Crassus received the province of Syria for 5 years in order to persue personal motivation to begin an invasion of Parthia. Pompey ensured the provinces of Nearer Spain and Further Spain became his for a 5 year period starting in 54 BC. In addition, Gaius Julius Caesar's governorships of the provinces of Transalpine Gaul, Cisalpine Gaul and Illyricum were extended due to his fears of impeachment as a private citizen.
