- gumby 3y agoThe fact that Pompey and Cicero were patricians is irrelevant. None of them really had the interest of the masses at heart. Increasing the grain allotment made Caesar no more a man of the people than becoming a tribune had. Augustus did much more in that regard (he personally paid off the public debt!) and he was no man of the people either.
