Career

  • Tribunus Plebis 184 (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • Naevius, in the non-Antiate version the prosecutor of Scipio Africanus, is definitely dated to this year (Liv. 39.52.3-5; cf. 38.56.2 and 5-6). Gellius (4.18.3-6) also mentions his attack on Scipio, who appealed to the memory of Zama and led the assembly away from the court to the Capitol (cf. Polyb. 23.14.1-4; Diod. 29.21; Val. Max. 3.7.1; FOR 1.10-12, 147-150; Cic. De Or. 2.249). See 187, on the Petillii, and below, on Ti. Gracchus. (Broughton MRR I)
