Lex Tullia de ambitu

The anti-bribery law on electoral canvassing carried by Cicero himself during his consulship in 63 BC, stiffening the penalties of the earlier Lex Calpurnia (notably a ten-year exile). In the Pro Murena Cicero stresses that, as both consul and author of this very law, he could still defend Murena because no act actually contrary to the statute had been proved.
