In the latter half of the first century the tribune and aedile of the plebs, as well as the magistrates down to and including the quaestor, had a right to a seat in the senate. When this right was conferred o...n the plebeian aediles it is impossible to say. At least it 251. Would seem to have been granted to them before 122.
