voting Roman voting was timocratic, in that the power of a man's vote was powerfully influenced by economic status, and in that voting was indirect. Whether an individual was voting in the Centuries or the tribes, his own personal vote could influence only the collective verdict of the Century or tribe in which he polled. Juridical voting was different. A juror's vote did have a direct bearing on the outcome of a trial, as the jury's verdict was reached by a majority, not, as now, complete unanimity. To be a juror, however, a man had to be at least a tribunus aerarius.
