• Quaestor 99 urbanus?, Rome (Broughton MRR II) Expand
  • 8 The coins in question contain the forms Ap. Cl., T. Mal., and Q. Urb. The variations in the order of the first two indicate that the third is rightly interpreted by Mommsen and Grueber to mean Q(uaestores) Urb(ani), not Q. Turb(inius). Claudius should most probably be identified with the Praetor of 89 (who, though Grueber disagrees, may also be the legionary commander of the name in 87 and the Interrex of 78; see these years), and therefore Mommsen's tentative suggestion of 99, ten years earlier, for his quaestorship a reasonably approximate date. Mallius is not otherwise known. Cichorius, quoting ILS 8888, is inclined to read Mal(oleius) and to identify this Quaestor with one of the officers of Pompeius Strabo (RS 146), but the occurrence of the name Mallius in Roman public office in 143 and 105 favors its retention here.

  • Sulla left him in command, probably pro praetore, of a legion which was besieging Nola, and which Cinna later won for the Marian forces (Liv. Per. 79; cf. Vell. 2.20.4; App. BC 1.65). Later when he refused to appear at the bidding of a Tribune, he was stripped of his imperium and sent into exile (Cic. Dom. 83). (Broughton MRR II)
• Consul 79 (Broughton MRR II) Expand
  • Fast. Cap., Degrassi 54f., 130, 484f. (Servilius' name entire; AP. C ----- ]); Frontin. Str. 4.5.1 (Glaucia emended to Claudio); App. BC 1.103; Gran. Lic. 39B; Chr. 354 (Vatio et Pulchro); Fast.

• Proconsul 78 Macedonia, Thracia (Broughton MRR II) Expand
  • Assigned the province of Macedonia, he fell ill at Tarentum, and apparently returned to Rome until 78 (Sall. Hist. 1.127M; see 77, Interrex, and Promagistrates). (Broughton MRR II)
• Proconsul 77 Macedonia, Thracia (Broughton MRR II) Expand
  • Proconsul in Macedonia (Liv. Per. 91; Ruf. Fest. 9.2; Ammian. Marc. 27.4.10). He carried on a successful war against the Scordisci and the tribes of Mt. Rhodope, but in 76 fell ill and died (Liv. Per. 91; Flor. 1.39.6; Eutrop. 6.2.1; Ruf. Fest. 9.2; Ammian. Marc. 27.4.10; Oros. 5.23.17-19). See above, Interrex. (Broughton MRR II)
• Interrex 77 (Broughton MRR II) Expand
  • Sall. Hist. 1.77.22M. Klein (241f., no. 25) is inclined to identify this Interrex with the Consul of 54, a son of the man listed above. He would still be quite youthful for the position. However, it is probable that the illness of the Proconsul had brought him home and made him available to perform this service before going to Macedonia. If so, the triumph of Dolabella (see below, Promagistrates), which Degrassi (564) is inclined to date in 78, may have been celebrated in 77. Iulius Caesar, who served under Servilius Isauricus in Cilicia in 78, and returned to Rome after receiving news of Sulla's death (Suet. Iul. 3), could then bring his accusation against Dolabella in 77. (Broughton MRR II)
• Proconsul 76 Macedonia, Thracia (Broughton MRR II) Expand
  • Proconsul in Macedonia (see 79, Promagistrates). After some success against the Thracian Scordisci he fell ill and died (Sall. Hist. 2.36-37M, cf. 80M; Liv. Per. 91; Flor. 1.38.6; Eutrop. 6.2.1; Ruf. Fest. 9.2; Oros. 5.23.19; cf. Varro RR 3.16.2; Obseq. 59). See 79, Promagistrates, and above, Consuls, on Scribonius Curio. (Broughton MRR II)
