Gaius Marcius Rutilus
Gaius Marcius Rutilus (also seen as "Rutulus") was the first plebeian dictator and censor of ancient Rome, and was consul four times.

He was first elected consul in 357 BC, then appointed as dictator the following year in order to deal with an invasion by the Etruscans which had reached as far as the ancient salt-works on the coast. He surprised the enemy's camp, captured 8,000 of the enemy and drove the rest out of Roman territory, for which he was granted a triumph by the people, against the Senate's wishes.

Rutilus was again elected consul in 352 BC. At the end of his term, he ran for censor and won, despite patrician opposition. He was also consul in 344 BC and 342 BC, when he led the army in the Samnite Wars.

His namesake son was tribune of the plebs in 311 BC and consul in 310 BC. According to Fergus Millar, this son was one of the first plebeian augurs under the lex Ogulnia and also held the position of censor twice, the first time in 294 BC and the second time in 265 BC.

The lex Ogulnia was a Roman law passed in 300 BC.  It was a milestone in the long struggle between the patricians and plebeians.  The law was carried by the brothers Quintus and Gnaeus Ogulnius, tribunes of the plebs in 300 BC.  For the first time, it opened the various priesthoods to the plebeians. It also increased the number of pontifices from five to nine (including the pontifex maximus), and led to the appointment of Tiberius Coruncanius, the first plebeian pontifex maximus, in 254 BC. The law further required that five of the augurs be plebeians.

Osmotherley Village Green
Osmotherley Village Green is an open space in the centre of Osmotherley, North Yorkshire, a village in England.

The settlement is centred on its small, triangular, village green, where its three main roads meet.  On the green stand a cross and a stone table.  A local tradition claims that the cross was associated with a 19th-century market, but no record of a market charter exists.  The stone table was probably used as an individual market stall, but has also been described as a stone on which a coffin would have been rested.  In the early 1750s, John Wesley preached in the village, and it is said that he did so while standing on the table.  Both the cross and table are grade II listed.

The village cross is in stone, and consists of three mediaeval square steps surmounted by a plain 18th-century obelisk.  The 16th-century table is also in stone, about 1.5 feet (0.46 m) in height, and consists of a slab on five tapered supports.

Village green
A village green is a common open area within a village or other settlement. Historically, a village green was common grassland with a pond for watering cattle and other animals, often at the edge of a rural settlement, used for gathering cattle to bring them later on to a common land for grazing. Later, planned greens were built into the centres of villages.

The village green also provided, and may still provide, an open-air meeting place for the local people, which may be used for public celebrations, such as May Day festivities. The term is used more broadly to encompass woodland, moorland, sports grounds, buildings, roads and urban parks.

This period of Haitian history commenced with the fall of the Kingdom of Haiti in the north and the reunification of Haiti in 1820 under Jean-Pierre Boyer. This period also encompassed Haitian occupation of Spanish Santo Domingo from 1822 to 1844, creating a unified political entity governing the entire island of Hispaniola.
