‘Censors M. Antonius and L. Flaccus expelled Duronius from the Senate because as Tribune of the Plebs he had revoked a law passed to limit money spent on banquets.’²²

Unfortunately, we are not told when Duronius revoked this law. All we can surmise is that it occurred after the previous Censorship (102-101 BC). As his name is not mentioned in the events surrounding Saturninus he is most commonly placed as holding office in 99 or 98 BC. What it does show is that as well as being prosecuted by their successors, tribunes were now faced with expulsion from the Senate (by the Ccensors), making any reforms risky to undertake for fear of the consequences.
