In this mission they succeeded; the decemvirate was abolished, and the two friends of the plebs, Valerius and Horatius, were elected consuls, B. C. 449. Their consulship is memorable by the enactment of the celebrated Valeriae et Horatiae leges, which secured the liberties of the plebs, and gave them additional power in the state. 1.
