CLUV1296 C. Cluvius (14) Saxula

Career

  • Praetor before 177 Sicilia? (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • Election Liv. 40.59.4 (but only three names). (Broughton MRR I)
    • C. Cluvius Saxula was praetor iterum in 173 (Liv. 41.28.5). His first praetorship must be dated either in 175, the date favored by Münzer (RE), or in 178, when he would be the missing sixth Praetor. This is the more probable solution of the puzzle because it allows more time between the two praetorships. The others who held the office in 173 for the second time were Praetors in 192 and 183, respectively. Sicily is the remaining province. See 175 and 172, Praetors. (Broughton MRR I)
  • Praetor 173 inter peregrinos, Rome (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • Election Liv. 41.28.5 Provinces 42.1.5. (Broughton MRR I)
    • See 178, Praetors. (Broughton MRR I)
    • p. 734 (Brennan 2000)
  • Legatus (Lieutenant) 168 Macedonia (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • Since so many of the officers of this year were deliberately chosen from among the older men (Liv. 44.21.2, Tribunes of the Soldiers), this C. Cluvius may possibly be identified with the Praetor of 173. (Broughton MRR I)
    • Served under Aemilius Paullus, and commanded the camp during the battle of Pydna (Liv. 44.40.6). (Broughton MRR I)
