LIGINIUS STOLO, a famous Roman tribune, styled Stoilo on account of a law he made, while tribune, that no Roman citizen should possess more than 500 acres of land; alleging, that when they occupied more, they could not cultivate it with care, nor pull up the useless shoots (stolones) that grow from the roots of trees. He is memorable also for enacting, that one of the consuls should always be of a plebeian family. He lived about 362 B.C.
