Career

  • Tribunus Plebis? c. 132 (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • As Tribune (triumviratu, Mss, Cic. Brut. 117) he gave judgment, contrary to the testimony of Scipio, that Augurs were liable to service on juries. The date must precede Scipio's death in 129 but is otherwise uncertain. See Niccolini, FTP 414f.; but cf. Mommsen, Str. 2.600. (Broughton MRR I)
    • As a judicial Triumvir (Cic. Brut. 117, where Malcovati, ed., and Sumner both reject Schètz's emendation of triumviratu to tribunatu), he gave judgment, contrary to the testimony of Scipio Aemilianus, that augurs were not exempt from service on juries. The date must precede, perhaps by several years, the death of Scipio in 129, but is otherwise uncertain. See Niccolini, FTP 414f., but cf. Mommsen, StR 2?.600. Sumner suggests, although evidence is lacking, that he may have become tribune of the plebs ca. 132, and was sponsor of the Lex Aelia (AJPh 84, 1963, 347-348; Orators 70-71), but cf. Cic. Pis. 10 and Vat. 23, above, on Aelius (1). According to Cicero (Mur. 75-76), and Val. Max. (7.5.1), he was an unsuccessful candidate for the praetorship soon after Scipio's death.[4] (Broughton MRR III)
    • No. 7, pp. 208-10, dating the triumvirate to before 132. Cascione further has the triumvir as Tr. Pl. 132, Pr.?, and Cos. Suff.? LM. (Cascione 1999)
    • p. 257-63 (Thommen 1989)
  • Triumvir Capitalis before 129 (Broughton MRR III) Expand
