Career

  • Praetor 135 Macedonia/Achaea (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • The order of events as given in Liv. Per. 56 indicates that Cosconius was Praetor in Macedonia in 135. The inscription is usually associated with the war of Aristonicus (133-129), in which case Cosconius remained for at least three years (see Rostovtzeff, SEHHW 809, 1522, note 80 and references cited there; and most recently, E. V. Hansen, Attalids of Pergamum 144f., notes 107-109). Magie holds that an earlier date is more probable (Anatol. Stud. Buckler 181, note 2), since Cyzicus was not certainly involved in the war. But he minimizes the extent of the war too much. Sestos was certainly involved (OGIS 339, lines 16-19). See now Magie, Roman Rule in Asia Minor 2.1038, note 13.{490} (Broughton MRR I)
    • Held command in Macedonia, and won victories over Scordisci in Thrace (Liv. Per. 56). Probably remained until 133 or 132, since Cyzicus sent envoys to him when in difficulty during the revolt of Aristonicus (IGRP 4.134). (Broughton MRR I)
    • ca. 135. p. 741, footnote 149 (Brennan 2000)
  • Promagistrate 134 Macedonia (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • Governor of Macedonia. See 135, Praetors. (Broughton MRR I)
    • Procos. Macedonia 134-132? See MRR 1.489, 491. An inscription of Erythrae (IGRP 4.1537), though without title, probably refers to him. See now F. Schachermeyr and R. Merkelbach, Die Inschriften von Erythrae and Klazomenai (Bonn, 1972), no. 48, an inscription in his honor with his name in full; cf. IGRP 4.952; Tuchelt, Frèhe Denkmaler 145. (Broughton MRR III)

    • Procos. Macedonia 134-132? See MRR 1.489, 491. An inscription of Erythrae (IGRP 4.1537), though without title, probably refers to him. See now F. Schachermeyr and R. Merkelbach, Die Inschriften von Erythrae and Klazomenai (Bonn, 1972), no. 48, an inscription in his honor with his name in full; cf. IGRP 4.952; Tuchelt, Frèhe Denkmaler 145. (Broughton MRR III)
