    • pp. 65-72 (Pina Polo 2012)
  • Praetor before 108 (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • Münzer (RE, and APF 287) uses Cic. Verr. 2.3.209 to suggest that his province was Sicily, but the case of Scaevola in the same passage indicates that there is no necessary reference to grain provinces, even though the province where his ancestors had won glory is not unlikely. (Broughton MRR I)
    • The latest possible date for their praetorships under the Lex Villia. Catulus was a candidate for the consulship of 106 (Cic. Planc. 12).{546} (Broughton MRR I)

Pasc.; Cassiod.; on Catulus, Cic. Rab. Perd. 21; Brut. 132; Tusc. 5.56; Ampel. 22; and on Marius, Elogium, CIL 1(2).1, p. 195- Inscr. Ital. 13.3.83. See Degrassi 128, 476f. In this year Marius at last met the Teutoni and the Ambrones and exterminated them in two battles near Aquae Sextiae. He then was reelected Consul in absence, and refused to celebrate the triumph voted him, but proceeded to join his colleague Catulus against the Cimbri (Elogium, above; Liv. Per. 68; Vell. 2.12.4; Val. Max. 1.2.4; Frontin. Str. 1.2.6, and 11.2; 2.4.6, 7.12, and 9.1; 4.7.5; Plut. Mar. 15-22; 24.1-2; Apophth.

The latter meantime held command in Italy against the Cimbri, and either because of defeat in a preliminary skirmish or the fears of his soldiers was forced to retreat beyond the Po from fortified positions on the Adige (Liv. Per. 68; Val. Max. 5.8.4; Plin. NH 22.11; Frontin. Str. 1.5.3; 4.1.13; Plut. Mar. 15.4; 23-24; Sull. 4.2-4; Praec. ger. rei pub. 12.5; Apophth. Catuli; Flor. 1.38.11-13; Fronto Ad Ver. 126 N; Dio 27, fr. 94.2; Ampel. 22.4; Oros. 5.16.14; Auct. Vir. Ill. 72.10). (Broughton MRR I)

  • Proconsul 101 Gallia (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • Proconsul (Liv. Per. 68; Vell. 2.12.5; cf. Cic. Rab. Perd. 21). He shared with Marius the glory of the Cimbrian victory (Plut. Mar. 25-27; cf. Vell. 2.12.5; Plin. NH 17.2; 22.11; Eutrop. 5.2.1-2; Oros. 5.16.14; see above, Consuls), and celebrated his triumph with him (Plut. Mar. 27.5-6; 44.5; cf. Cic. Tusc. 5.56; Diod. 38.4.2; Val. Max. 9.12.4; Iuvenal. 8.253; Jerome Chr. ad ann. 101, p. 149 Helm; see Degrassi 562). From the booty he built the Porticus Catuli (Cic. Verr. 2.4.126; Cael. 78; Dom. 102, 114, 116, 137; Att. 4.2.4-5, and 3.2; QF 3.1.14; Val. Max. 6.3.1c; Plin. NH 17.2; Plut. Mar. 23.6; cf. Varro RR 3.5.12), and an aedes to Fortuna huiusce diei (Plut. Mar. 26.2; cf. Fast. Allif. for July 30, CIL 1(2).1, p. 217; Hülsen-Jordan 1.3.491). (Broughton MRR I)
    • The rivalry and party strife of subsequent years has affected the historical tradition. Catulus in his own work (Cic. Brut. 132-134) and Sulla in his Memoirs magnified the exploits of Catulus' army and minimized those of the army of Marius (Plut. Mar. 25-27; Eutrop. 5.2.2). (Broughton MRR I)

  • Legatus (Envoy) 87 (Broughton MRR II) Expand
    • Sent by the Senate to Metellus Pius to urge him to negotiate a peace with the Samnites and come to the defence of Rome (Gran. Lic. 25B; cf. App. BC 1.68; Dio 30-35, fr. 102.6-7). (Broughton MRR II)
