Career

  • Monetalis 121 (RRC) Expand
    • ref. 279 (RRC)
  • Praetor before 115 Asia (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • The latest date possible for his praetorship under the Lex Villia. He was probably governor of Asia as Praetor or Propraetor after his praetorship when Antiochus VIII set up an inscription in his honor at Delos (Münzer, RE; Holleaux, RA 8 [1918] 234f., who reads {Gr}; I. de Délos 4.1.1550), since his disastrous consulship must have ended his public career. (Broughton MRR I)
    • p. 745, footnote 216 (Brennan 2000)
  • Consul 113 (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • Brother of C. Carbo, Cos. 119 (Cic. Fam. 9.21.3). (Broughton MRR I)
    • CIL 1 .2.661, 662, 2504, cf. 2422; I. de Délos 4.1.1753- CIL 1(2).2.2504- ILS 9417; Fast. Ant., Degrassi 162f. ([Cn. Papi]ri. C[- - - -]); Plin. NH 2.100; Tac.

Papirius; and on Carbo, Lex Agr. of 111, CIL 1(2).2.585, line 89; Cic. Brut. 105. See Degrassi 127, 474f. Metellus was assigned the province of Macedonia and campaigned in Thrace (see Act. Tr. for 111). Carbo treacherously forced the Cimbri to battle near Noreia and suffered a disastrous defeat (Strabo 5.1.8; Liv. Per. 63; Vell. 2.12.2; plut. Mar. 16.5; App. Celt. 13, where they are confused with the Teutoni; cf. Diod. 34-35.37; Vell. 2.8.3; Tac. Germ. 37; Ps.-Quintil. Decl. 3.13; and see Cic. Fam. 9.21.3; and Apul. Apol. 66, on his trial and suspicious acquittal). See Lübker no. 2, on Papirius. (Broughton MRR I)
