The Assembly, fearing for Tiberius's safety, formed a guard around Tiberius and frequently escorted him home. Tiberius justified the expulsion of Octavius by stating that a tribune was > sacred and inviolable, because he was consecrated to the people and was a > champion of the people... If, then he should change about, wrong the people, > maim its power, and rob it of the privilege of voting, he has by his own > acts deprived himself of his honourable office by not fulfilling the > conditions on which he received it; for otherwise there would be no > interference with a tribune even though he should try to demolish the > Capitol or set fire to the naval arsenal. If a tribune does these things, he > is a bad tribune; but if he annuls the power of the people, he is no tribune > at all... And surely, if it is right for him to be made tribune by a > majority of the votes of the tribes, it must be even more right for him to > be deprived of his tribuneship by a unanimous vote. Appian presents a slightly different version of events.
