Tags: Political Party.

Populares (favoring the people singular popularis) were aristocratic leaders in the late Roman Republic who relied on the people’s assemblies and tribunate to acquire political power. They are regarded in modern scholarship as in opposition to the optimates who are identified with the conservative interests of a senatorial elite.
