    Actually, i think those are agnomina, while his cognomen - which earlier had the same function as an agnomen then - is Maximus :)

    Edit: Well, could of course be that this terminology wasn't yet established in those days...

    I think Plebeian. Only the plebs could run for Tribune of the Plebs, and there's an historic record of a Gaius Aurelius Cotta running for that position and losing.
