In 328 BC, Flavius made a distribution of meat to the people on occasion of the funeral of his mother.
[3] The gift of meat could not only have been to honor his mother, but also to show gratitude to the people of Rome who had acquitted him in the trial where he had been charged with adultery.
[1][5] According to Livy and Valerius Maximus, several Tusculan families arrived at Rome poorly dressed and were nearly forgiven by all tribes.
One tribe, the Pollia, insisted that the men be beaten and executed and that the women and children be auctioned off.
Because of this, when the Tusculans gained Roman citizenship the Papiria tribe, which they dominated, would never elect a member of the Pollia to public office.
