Gaius Atinius Labeo (praetor 195 BC)

Gaius Atinius Labeo was tribune of the plebs in 196 BC, and carried a bill authorizing five colonies. He also joined with the tribune Quintus Marcius Ralla in vetoing the attempt of the consul, Marcus Claudius Marcellus, to prevent peace with Philip.Titus Livius, Ab Urbe Condita xxxii.29, xxxiii.25.

In 195 BC, Atinius was praetor peregrinus. He may have been the author of the lex Atinia de usucapione.Titus Livius, Ab Urbe Condita xxxiii.42, 43.Aulus Gellius, Noctes Atticae 17 §7.

Atinius seems to have been a different man from the Gaius Atinius Labeo who was praetor in Sicilia in 190 BC, and the Gaius Atinius who was praetor in Hispania Ulterior in 188.Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology, William Smith, Editor.T.
