Hispania Ulterior

The known date of the command of Fabius in Farther Spain (145 B.C.) and the order of the commanders mentioned in Appian (Ib. 61-65) and other sources led Wilsdorf (Leipzig. Stud. 1 [1878] 97-100), and after him De Ruggiero and Stella Maranca (314), to date Vetilius in 149. Schulten however would assign Claudius Unimanus to Hither Spain in 146, thus leaving room for Vetilius in 147, the date favored by the placing of the notice about him in Liv. Per. 52, Plautius in 146, and Fabius in 145 (NJ 39 [1917] 217-221; cf. Gesch. Num. 65). This dating is also supported by Appian's statement that there was an interval between the administration of Galba in 150 and the outbreak of the great war with Viriathus (Ib. 60). (Broughton MRR I)

Ambushed, captured, and killed by Viriathus near Tribula with the loss of most of his army (App. Lib. 61-63; cf. Diod. 33.19.3; Liv. Per. 52; Oros. 5.4.1-2). See Lübker, p. 1105. (Broughton MRR I)
Proconsul in Hisp. Ult. See MRR 1.464. His arrival and initial success may be dated to 147.[218] Orosius (5.4.1-2) places his defeat and death in 146, but before the arrival of his successor, C. Plautius Hypsaeus (9). See R. C. Knapp, Aspects 30; Simon, Kriege 87-92.
