Career

  • Tribunus Plebis? 194 (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • Mommsen identified the M. Baebius mentioned in the Lex Agraria of 111, who was both Tr. Pl. and IIIvir col. deduc., with the IIIvir of 194 (CIL 1 1 , p. 95). Niccolini holds that this, though possible, is uncertain, since the other references in this law are to laws and officials of recent date (FTP 418f.); furthermore, we do not know the names of the colonial commissioners appointed under the Gracchan program. See also Carcopino, Autour des Gracques 258ff. (Broughton MRR I)

  • Legatus (Ambassador) 185 Macedonia, Achaea (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • Livy reports this embassy under the year 185, but the appointment could have been made late in the consular year 186. I accept Niese's dating (3.22, note 1). They could leave Rome in the spring, visit Tempe and Thessalonica, and be at Argos for the Nemean games in August (Polyb. 22.10.1). (Broughton MRR I)
    • Sent to deal with disputes between Philip of Macedon and his neighbors in Greece and with complaints arising from his occupation of Aenus and Maronea (Polyb. 22.6; 23.2.7; Liv. 39.23.5-29.3, cf. 33.1; Pausan. 7.8.6). They also discussed the Achaean treatment of Sparta with the Achaean magistrates, who refused Metellus' request that they call an assembly (Polyb. 22.10; 23.4.7; Diod. 29.17; Pausan. 7.8.6, and 9.1).
