  • Consul 138 (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • Cic. Brut. 85; Leg. 3.20; Fast. Cap., Degrassi 52f., 125, 468f. ([D. I]un[ius M.] f. M. n. Brutu[s qui postea] Cal[l]aicus appel[latusest]); Fast. Ant., ib. 160f. ([P.] Corne[- - - -], D. Iuni.[- - - -]); Liv. Per. 55 and Oxy. Per. 55; Frontin. Str. 4.1.20; Chr. 354 (Nasica et Bruto); so also Fast. Hyd., and Chr. Pasc.; Cassiod.; and on Scipio, Cic. Att. 6.1.17. The Consuls had charge of the investigation into the murders at Sila, and were imprisoned by the Tribunes for refusing to make certain exemptions from the levy (Cic. Brut. 85; Leg. 3.20; Liv. Per. 55, and Oxy. Per. 55; Frontin. Str. 4.1.20; cf. on Scipio, Val. Max. 3.7.3). Brutus in Farther Spain settled followers of Viriathus at Valentia (Liv. Per. 55), and carried the war against the Lusitanians to the Douro (Liv. Per. 55, and Oxy. Per. 55; App. Ib. 71, Sextus!; Flor. 1.33.12; cf. Strabo 3.3.1, and 3.7; Jerome Chr. ad ann. 142 p. 144 Helm). Cf. Dig. 1.13.1.2 (Dec. Druso et Porcina !). (Broughton MRR I)
  • Proconsul 137 Hispania Ulterior (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • Campaigned against the Callaici in Farther Spain, crossed the river Oblivio, advanced to the Minius and won an important success (Liv. Per. 55, and Oxy. Per. 55; Strabo 3.3.4; Ovid Fast. 6.461; Vell. 2.5.1; Plut. Quaest. Rom. 34; App. Ib. 72; Flor. 1.33.12; Oros. 5.5.12; cf. Diod. 33.27; Mela 3.10; Plin. NH 4.115). (Broughton MRR I)
  • Proconsul 136 Hispania Ulterior (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • Brutus' triumph has been dated in 133 (Degrassi 558) because Eutropius lists it after Attalus' death and along with the triumph of Scipio Aemilianus (4.19). A provincial command lasting from 138 to 133 appears to be quite extraordinary in this period, and no details are preserved of military operations under Brutus' command after 136. Münzer (RE) doubts if Eutropius represents the correct order of time. (Broughton MRR I)
    • In Farther Spain he continued the war against the Callaeci (Liv. Per. 56), and with Lepidus attacked the Vaccaei and Pallantia (App. Ib. 72-73; cf. Val. Max. 6.4, ext. 1). He returned to celebrate a triumph, probably in 136 or 135 and certainly by 133, over the Callaeci and Lusitani (Plut. TG 21.2; Eutrop. 4.19) and assume the cognomen Callaicus (Fast. Cap. for 138; Ovid Fast. 6. 461f.; Strabo 3.3.8; Vell. 2.5.1; Plin. NH 36.26; Schol. Bob. 179 Stangl; Ampel. 19.4; 23; 26.2). See 133, Promagistrates. (Broughton MRR I)

  • Proconsul c. 133 Hispania Ulterior (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • Following the order in Eutrop. 4.19, Degrassi is inclined to date Brutus' triumph in 133. See 136, Promagistrates and note 4. (Broughton MRR I)
  • Augur after 130 (Rüpke 2005) Expand
    • Augur before 129 (Cic. Lael. 8). See also Cic. Leg. 2.54; Lael. 7; Plut. Quaest. Rom. 34. (Broughton MRR I)
