Career

  • Triumvir Monetalis? 110 (RRC) Expand
    • ref. 300 (RRC)
  • Quaestor c. 110 (Broughton MRR III) Expand
    • Claudius apparently became a IIIvir Monetalis after his quaestorship, and his coins are usually dated about 104 (Mommsen, RMW 367; Grueber, CRRBM 1.198f.). (Broughton MRR I)
    • Elogium, CIL 1 .1, p. 200- ILS 45. (Broughton MRR I)
    • See Mommsen, Ges. Schr. 7.517f., and the discussion in RE 1 A. 1273. (Broughton MRR I)
    • Cos. 92. Monetalis. In MRR 2.435, and Index, 547, refer also to Crawford, RRC 1.313, no. 300, 110 or 109 B.C. Sumner notes that as his quaestorship is listed before the post of IIIvir monetalis in his inscription (ILS 45), Crawford's dating creates an unusually long, though not impossible date between the quaestorship and the consulship (ca. 110 to 92; Sumner, Orators 100-101). Cicero notes that he did not hold the higher offices suo anno (Off. 2.59; cf. 57). In a mistaken interpretation of Cic. Verr. 2.4.6, Drumann-Groebe (.2.156, no. 28) attributed to him a command in Sicily after his praetorship in 95. But the text shows only that he was a patron of Messana and hospes of the family of the Heii, from whom he borrowed, and returned promptly, an Eros of Praxiteles for his aedilician games in 99. An inscription of Cyrene honoring him as patron when he was consul (#; see L. Gasperini, QAL 5; 1967, 53-57) is taken in AEpig. 1967, no. 532, to signify that he was proconsul there in 91 after his consulship, at a time before 75-74 when there was as yet no province of Cyrene. He was probably concerned with the lands bequeathed by Ptolemy Apion in 96 (J. M. Reynolds, JRS 61, 1971, 140; and JRS 52, 1962, 97-103, on the organization of the province). See Badian, Phoenix 25, 1971, 134-137.[57x] (Broughton MRR III)
  • Triumvir Monetalis? 109 (RRC) Expand
    • ref. 300 (RRC)
  • Aedilis Curulis 99 (Broughton MRR II) Expand
    • 4 He was prosecuted by Appuleius Decianus after his aedileship, which should therefore be dated in 99. (Broughton MRR II)
    • Inscr. Ital. 13.3, no. 70 b-CIL 12. 1, p. 200. Gave especially splendid games, and was the first to use elephants in venationes (Cic. Verr. 2.4.6 and 133; Har. Resp. 26; Off. 2.57; Val. Max. 2.4.6; Plin. NH 8.19, with the names of the Consuls; 35.23; cf. 21.6, where the praenomen is P.; Gran. Lic. 38 B). (Broughton MRR II)
    • Cos. 92. Monetalis. In MRR 2.435, and Index, 547, refer also to Crawford, RRC 1.313, no. 300, 110 or 109 B.C. Sumner notes that as his quaestorship is listed before the post of IIIvir monetalis in his inscription (ILS 45), Crawford's dating creates an unusually long, though not impossible date between the quaestorship and the consulship (ca. 110 to 92; Sumner, Orators 100-101).

  • Iudex Quaestionis 98 (Broughton MRR II) Expand
    • 3 Later practice, as in the case of Julius Caesar, who was Curule Aedile in 65 and Iudex Quaestionis in 64, favors placing the date, even in this early pre-Sullan instance, in the year after his aedileship (see 99, Aediles). (Broughton MRR II)
    • Had charge of the Quaestio de sicariis et veneficis (Elogium, Inscr. Ital. 13.3.70b-CIL 12.1, p. 200). (Broughton MRR II)
  • Praetor 95 repetundae, Rome (Broughton MRR II) Expand
    • Praetor (Cic. Verr. 2.2.122) in charge of cases of res repetundae (Inscr. Ital. 13.3.70b-CIL 12.1, p. 200). Commissioned by decree of the Senate, he drew up a constitution for Halaesa in Sicily (Cic. Verr. 2.2.122). (Broughton MRR II)
