Album Civium

L. Sicinius Drusus became a Roman citizen a.d. V Kal. Ian. ‡ Q. Maximo M. Minucio cos. ‡ MMDCCLIII a.u.c.. A proponent of close adherence to Roman practice (though he was sometimes criticized as applying this principle inconsistently in practice), he became a significant public figure and a prominent member of the group which called itself the boni. Though he never secured election to any magistracy, he was influential among his political allies and drafted a number of legislative proposals, and became a senator M. Octavio L. Sulla (II) cos. ‡ MMDCCLV a.u.c..

Early in the year Cn. Salvio Cn. Equitio cos. ‡ MMDCCLVII a.u.c. he was the subject of a nota issued by censores K. Fabius Quintilianus and M. Octavius Germanicus. This nota was subsequently withdrawn. It later emerged that this was the result of a negotiated deal in which, for his part, L. Sicinius had sworn (among other things) not to attend meetings of the senate for nine months and to "remain civil and courteous" in public fora. He also agreed to suffer expulsion from Nova Roma if he breached the agreement. Later that year he was accused of breaking this agreement, but the consul Cn. Equitius Marinus rejected calls for him to expel L. Sicinius, ruling that the agreement was a contract in private law and could only be enforced by an ordinary action by a party to the contract. The matter was never brought to court, but L. Sicinius has not participated in public life since.

L. Sicinius was removed from the senate by the censores prid. Kal. Ian. ‡ Fr. Apulo C. Laenate cos. ‡ MMDCCLVIII a.u.c..
