Career

• Praetor c. 170 (Broughton MRR I) Expand
  • Torquatus, Consul in 165, must by the Lex Villia have been Praetor before 167. Since the lists of Praetors do not contain his name he must be placed in the lacuna in 170 (Münzer, APF 219). (Broughton MRR I)
  • p. 735, footnote 96 (Brennan 2000)
• Pontifex 170 to after 140 (Rüpke 2005) Expand
  • Liv. 41.21.8-9. (Broughton MRR I)
  • The name as given in Livy suggests that a Sempronius Gracchus was adopted by a Veturius. To keep the cognomen Gracchus after adoption is not impossible but is unexampled in this period. The name Veturius raises more difficulty since Münzer (APF 123, 126-8, 131) has shown against Mommsen (RF 1.120) that the Gens Veturia was patrician, and it is surprising that the plebeian place in the college held by a Sempronius should pass to a patrician Veturius even if he was by nature the son. Moreover, Geer (AJPh 60 [1939] 466f.) has pointed out that the four patrician places in the augural college were all filled at this time and the new Augur therefore must be a plebeian. He makes the attractive suggestion that the correct name is Ti. Sempronius Gracchus Veturianus, i. e. a Veturius adopted by a Sempronius Gracchus. Neither name appears again in our tradition. See note 4 above. (Broughton MRR I)
  • Ti. Veturius Gracchus Sempronianus succeeded Ti. Sempronius (Longus or Gracchus). Ti. Sempronius Gracchus Veturianus, Geer, AJPh 60 (1939) 466f. (Broughton MRR I)

• Legatus (Ambassador) 162 Aegyptus (Broughton MRR I) Expand
  • Sent to Egypt to induce Ptolemy VI to be reconciled again (see 163) with his brother and cede him Cyprus, but were put off by Ptolemy VI and stopped by a rising against Ptolemy VII in Cyrene (Polyb. 31.10.9-10, and 17-18; cf. 31.20.1-6). See Otto, ABAW 11 (1934) 95.{443} (Broughton MRR I)
