Career

• Praetor before 116 (Brennan 2000) Expand
  • Münzer (RE, both above and s. v. "Fulvius," no. 64) assigns him conjecturally to 121. He was a contemporary of C. Gracchus (Cic. Brut. 110), held the praetorship (ib. 124), and in some unknown year defended Ser. Fulvius, perhaps the Consul of 135, who was charged with incest. He was the grandfather of Cicero's correspondent. (Broughton MRR I)
  • A contemporary of C. Gracchus who apparently attained the praetorship (Cic. Brut. 124, cf. 110 and 122; Inv. 1.80; Auct. Ad Herenn. 2.33; Schol. Bob. 85 Stangl; De Or. 2.98; Plin. NH 7.133). (Broughton MRR I)
