Career

  • Tribunus Plebis? 204 (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • Grueber, CRRBM 1.133, doubts any association of the coins of a M. Baebius Tamphilus with the Baebii of this time (cf. Mommsen, RMW 495; Babelon 1.250ff.) since they are much later, unless the Apollo type may possibly refer to some ancestral connection with the Ludi Apollinares (Grueber, loc. cit., note 4; cf. Babelon 1.254). Niccolini (FTP 100) dates him in 204, but possibly 203 is correct, since his action appears to refer to the later part of the activity of the Censors. (Broughton MRR I)
    • Indicted the Censors for their public quarrel (Liv. 29.37.17; Val. Max. 7.2.6; see 204, Censors). Niccolini places him in 204 (FTP 100), but his action appears to refer to the later part of the Censors' activities. See 204, Tribunes of the Plebs and note 3. (Broughton MRR I)
