Career

  • Praetor 175 Sardinia (Brennan 2000) Expand
    • On the Praetors of 175, see especially Münzer, APF 218f. (Broughton MRR I)
    • A Cornelius received a prorogued command in Sardinia in 174 (Liv. 41.21.2), and so was probably Praetor in that province in 175. Ser. Cornelius Sulla is listed immediately after the consulars in the Macedonian commission of 167 (Liv. 45.17.3; cf. Willems 1.347f., note 6; 2.507), and was therefore an ex-Praetor at the time. He was possibly Praetor in 170 but more probably in 175. (Broughton MRR I)
    • p. 734, footnote 88 (Brennan 2000)
  • Promagistrate 174 Sardinia (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • Imperium prorogued in Sardinia (Liv. 41.21.2; see 175, Praetors). (Broughton MRR I)
  • Legatus (Ambassador) 167 Macedonia (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • Sent with instructions from the Senate to assist Paullus in organizing Macedonia (Liv. 45.17.2-3, and 29-31). Claudius and Domitius went to Achaea to summon the Achaean leaders to Rome in person (Liv. 45.31.9-11; cf. Polyb. 30.13.8-11), and Fabius went to Lesbos to destroy Antissa and incorporate it with Methymna (Liv. 45.31.14). (Broughton MRR I)
