Praetor? 177 Gallia Cisalpina (Broughton MRR I) Expand
- Election Liv. 41.8.1 Provinces 41.8.2-3. (Broughton MRR I)
- The name is apparently repeated from 179 with no indication of iteration of office. The operations of the year in Gaul admit only of the presence of the consular commander, and according to a law passed in 181 there should be only four Praetors this year. The reference in Valerius Maximus (4.5.3) to a Cn. Scipio who was elected Praetor with the help of the scriba Cicereius is probably a mistake for L. Scipio, Praetor in 174, who was followed by Cicereius in 173. (Broughton MRR I)
