Career

  • Proconsul 200 Hispania (Broughton MRR III) Expand
    • Pr. 194. Procos. Spain, 200-196. See MRR 1.326, note 4, 328, 329, note 3, 331, 333, 336. On his command and his ovatio in 196, see Sumner, Phoenix 19, 1965, 24-26, with a new reading of lines 2 and 3 of Fast. Triumph. Cap. for 196 (which I confirmed on the stone in 1967), and Arethusa 3, 1970, 90-92. For the precedent of an ovatio celebrated by one who has not been dictator, consul, or praetor, see L. Cornelius Lentulus (188). Cos. 199, in 200 (Liv. 31.20.1-6; MRR 2.324). Sumner (ibid. 93-97) holds that there were still in 196 (Liv. 32.28.2) no separate territorial arrangements with boundaries between the provinces Ult. and Cit. and thus explains the confusion regarding the provinces in which M. Helvius (MRR 2.336, 341), C. Sempronius Tuditanus before his death (2.333, 337), and Q. Minucius Thermus (2.335, 341) were operating. See R. C. Knapp, Aspects of the Roman Experience in Iberia, 206-100 B.C 92-94, and notes 19-20, with a good defense of the traditional arrangement. Leg., amb. 196. In MRR 1.337, 339, note 2, 1 considered the consular Cn. Cornelius (Lentulus) (21, 176) a more probable choice as member of the commission of ten in 196 than Cn. Cornelius Blasio, who was not yet a praetor, but Schleussner (Legaten 24, note 48) has pointed out that this was true of another member, L. Stertinius (MRR 1.338). (Broughton MRR III)
  • Proconsul 199 Hispania (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • In the text of Liv. 31.50.11 Lentulus is a mistake for Blasio, the cognomen attested by 33.27.1 and Act. Tr. for 196. (Broughton MRR I)
    • Given command by plebiscite as Proconsul in Hither Spain (Liv. 31.50.11, Lentulus; 33.27.1-2; cf. Act. Tr., Degrassi 78f., 552, on 196). (Broughton MRR I)
