Salve,<br>
<br>
These 24 elected tribunes were known as <i> comitiati</i>, whereas others were picked by commanders when the number of legions under arms exceeded the four assigned to the consuls. The latter category was eventually termed <i> rufuli</i> after Rutilius Rufus.<br>
<br>
Livius 7.5 (text and translation)<br>
<br>
Festus 368L<br>
<br>
<i> Rufuli tribuni militum appellabantur quos consul faciebat, non populus; de quorum iure Rutilius Rufus legem tulerit</i><br>
<br>
'Rufulan tribunes of the soldiers are called those that the consul appoints, not the people: Rutilius Rufus has made codified the law regarding them'<br>
<br>
