Cos. 116. Praetor 120 or 119. The name # in the fragmentary inscription, found at Arizli near ancient Synnada in Phrygia, with the text of an SC dealing with the arrangements when the Romans reclaimed Phrygia after the death of Mithridates V of Pontus in 120, has rightly been taken to be that of C. Licinius Geta (OGIS 436-Sherk, RDGE no. 13; cf. MRR 1.530). T. Drew-Bear has shown (Historia 21, 1972, 75-87) that this name, which is preserved alone without that of his consular colleague, Q. Fabius Maximus Eburnus (111), need not be referred to his consulship in 116, but probably (like that of the praetor, C. Popillius C. f. in OGIS 435-Sherk, RDGE no. 11, in 133) should be referred to his praetorship in 120 or 119 (MRR 2.526). He could have presided over the Senate when it took action immediately after the death of Mithridates V, if the consuls were absent.

Fast. Ant., Degrassi 162f. (C. Licini. Ge[t]ha, Q. Fabi. Max.), cf. Fast. Cap., Degrassi 54f., 127, 476f., names not preserved. Licinius had been expelled from the Senate by the Censors of 115 (Cic. Cluent. 119; Val.{549} Max. 2.9.9). Fabius put his son to death as a punishment for unchastity (Val. Max. 6.1.5-6; Ps.-Quintil. Decl. 3.17; Oros. 5.16.8). They reappointed M. Aemilius Scaurus Princeps Senatus (see 115, Censors). (Broughton MRR I)
