Italy against Caesar As to Italy the great majority of the burgesses were, as has been already mentioned, averse to Caesar more especially, of course, the whole aristocracy with their very considerable following, but also in a not much less degree the great capitalists, who could not hope in the event of a thorough reform of the commonwealth to preserve their partisan jury-courts and their monopoly of extortion.
From the choice of the people there came only the "Ten-men" for procedure affecting freedom. Sullan -Quaestiones- Sulla's leading reforms were of a threefold character. First, he very considerably increased the number of the jury-courts.
Changes of in the Arrangement of Magistracies and the Jury-System Thus in legal possession of full power, Pompeius set to work and proceeded with energy against the republican party which was powerful in the clubs and the jury-courts.
As things stood, the regents could neither set aside nor adequately control the popular elections and the jury-courts, and the opposition, however much it felt itself straitened even here, maintained to a certain extent the field of battle. Literature of the Opposition
Continued Oppositon at the Elections But if the guidance of the state was at the absolute disposal of the regents, there remained still a political domain separated in some measure from the government proper, which it was more easy to defend and more difficult to conquer; the field of the ordinary elections of magistrates, and that of the jury-courts.
Opposition of course had not disappeared either from the minds of the great majority of the nation or even wholly from public life to effect that end the popular elections, the jury-courts, and literature must have been not merely restricted, but annihilated.
