  • Praetor? 177 Gallia Cisalpina (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • Election Liv. 41.8.1 Provinces 41.8.2-3. (Broughton MRR I)
    • The points raised in note 1 regarding Scipio apply equally to Laevinus. Their praetorships and their provinces in 177 are both extremely suspect. (Broughton MRR I)
    • See Münzer, Gent. Val. 47, no. 36. (Broughton MRR I)
  • Consul Suffectus 176 (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • Liv. 41.17.5-6; Fast. Cap., Degrassi 48f., 122, 458f. He too made war in Liguria (Liv. 41.18.6-7 and 15). His right to conduct the election of his successors was questioned (Liv. 41.18.16), but the lacuna in Livy leaves us without knowledge of the result. See Münzer, Gent. Val. 47, no. 36. (Broughton MRR I)
  • Legatus (Ambassador) 174 Aetolia (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • Sent to Aetolia to compose serious factional strife there and reported their inability to do so (Liv. 41.25.5-6, and 27.4). See 173, Legates; and on Valerius, Münzer, Gent. Val. 47, no. 36; on Popillius, Münzer, APF 216ff. (Broughton MRR I)

    • Sent to King Perseus to observe conditions in Macedonia, and to Alexandria to renew Roman friendship with King Ptolemy (Liv. 42.6.4-5). On Valerius, see Münzer, Gent. Val. 47, no. 36. (Broughton MRR I)
    • Leg., amb. 173, no. c (MRR 1.409). Valerius and the other members of this embassy were sent to other cities and states as well, Pergamum, Syria, cities in Asia and perhaps in Cappadocia and Bithynia too: cf. in 172, Liv. 42.17.1 and 26.7-9 (MRR 1.414; see Meloni, Perseo 149, 163, 165, notes 2 and 3, and 166; Walbank, Comm. Polyb. 3.289). (Broughton MRR III)

    • Early in 173 these reported the increase in factional strife in Aetolia (Liv. 42.2.1-2). (Broughton MRR I)
  • Legatus (Ambassador) 172 Achaea (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • See 173, no. c. Returned from Greece with reports supporting Eumenes' charges against Perseus, and bringing Praxo from Delphi and L.
