Reading notes
- Ad Quintum Fratrem 2.5 §1 the Capitolines and the Mercuriales threw M. Furius Flaccus
The Capitolini and Mercuriales were two Roman religious colleges (collegia), tied to the cults of Capitoline Jupiter and of Mercury. Their joint expulsion of the knight M. Furius Flaccus was a public disgrace.
