Abstract
This paper starts analyzing the élite of the factio popularis at the time
of the Gracchi: they were nobiles only. In the next generation, that
of Saturninus, we find a few nobiles among his followers, but a great
attention was deserved to the needs of the Marian army. Then, the
factio Cinnana was constituted by a majority of new citizens of Italian
origin. After Sulla the popularis élite survived in Spain under Sertorius.
At last Caesar provided it with its revenge and organized his government
around a group of amici, within which there were some domi
nobiles, a lot of Italians (above all Etruscans) and already some equites
ex provinciis.
