Ma'nlius
5. Cn.
Manlius, tribune of the plebs B. C. 58, brought forward a law granting to the freedmen (
libertini) the right of voting in all the tribes; but he was prevented from passing it by Domitius Ahenobarbus, who was then praetor (Ascon.
in Cic. Mil. p. 46). Baiter, in his note on Asconius (
l.c.), has shown that this Cn. Manlius is a different person from C. Manilius, who was tribune in B. C. 66. and who brought forward a similar law. [MANILIUS, No. 7.]
