Career

  • Quaestor? 152 (Broughton MRR III) Expand
    • Held this office three years before the Third Punic War (Val. Max. 2.2.1). (Broughton MRR I)
    • Cos. 131. Sumner (Orators 52) notes that election as quaestor in 152 for office in 151 may be the meaning of Val. Max. 2.2.1. Aedile 142? See MRR 1.475, 476, note 2. It could be dated within the period up to 137 (Sumner, loc. cit.). (Broughton MRR III)
  • Quaestor? 151 (Broughton MRR III) Expand
    • Cos. 131. Sumner (Orators 52) notes that election as quaestor in 152 for office in 151 may be the meaning of Val. Max. 2.2.1. Aedile 142? See MRR 1.475, 476, note 2. It could be dated within the period up to 137 (Sumner, loc. cit.). (Broughton MRR III)

    • Mucianus' aedileship must be dated between Galba's consulship in 144 (Cic.) and the regular interval before his own praetorship (by 134), and probably, since he was a plebeian, in one of the even years 142, 140, or 138 (but see Seidel 41). Münzer (RE, and APF 264-266) accepts 142 because of his political and family connections, and believes that Cic. Off. 2.57 refers to this aedileship, not that of the Consul of 97. See 102, Aediles; Seidel, FA 44. (Broughton MRR I)
