Career

  • Praetor 141 Macedonia/Achaea (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • Pr. in 141, for in 140 he was accused of peculation and when remitted to his natural father Torquatus, committed suicide (Cic. Fin. 1.24; Liv. Oxy. Per. 54, and Per. 54; Val. Max. 5.8.3; cf. Head, HN 240). The defeat administered by the Scordisci probably occurred under his command (Liv. Oxy. Per. 54). (Broughton MRR I)
    • Pr. 141. M. G. Morgan would date his command in Macedonia to 142-141 (Historia 23, 1974, 195198) because more time is needed before early in 140 to prepare and bring a case against him. If so, the praetorship of .Licinius Nerva and the suppression of Pseudophilippus by his quaestor L. Tremellius Scrofa would have to be dated to 143 (see MRR 1.472, 473, note 2, and 475; Morgan, op. cit.). In addition, the disaster suffered at the hands of the Scordisci in 141 (Liv. Oxy. Per. 54) may be connected with the severe defeat reported in App. Illyr. 14, of a certain Cornelius by the Pannonians (Morgan, op. cit. 183-216; see above, on Cornelius Scipio Nasica Serapio [354], Cos. 138).
