Career

  • Praetor before 95 urbanus, Rome (Broughton MRR II) Expand
    • 4 The latest date possible under the Leges Annales. Cicero and Valerius Maximus show only that his office was comparatively recent yet previous to Velia's acquisition of Roman citizenship in 90. (Broughton MRR II)
    • Carried a bill to give citizenship to Calliphana of Velia, priestess of Ceres (Cic. Balb. 55; Val. Max. 1.1.1). (Broughton MRR II)
    • Cos. 93. Praetor 96. In MRR 2.9 add that he was praetor urbanus (Cic. Balb. 55). Procos. Spain 92, Gaul 85? to 81. His command in Spain may have included both provinces and apparently continued without interruption until his return in 81. Gallia Transalpina may have been added as early as 85, but for some years the evidence is lacking (see MRR 2.58 and 60, note 3, but especially Badian, PACA 1, 1958, 11-15-Studies 88-93; Mel. Piganiol 908). On his coinage while proconsul in Gaul, see Crawford, RRC 1.379-381, no. 365, 82 B.C.; Cf. MRR 2.59-60. Crawford sees an association between this issue and Sulla's first moves against Sertorius in Spain. Flaccus' command in Nearer Spain, and his acclamation as imperator, is attested in the recently discovered Tabula Contrebiensis, dated to 87, with the words Iudicium addeixit C. Valerius C. f. Flaccus Imperator (C. Valerius C. f. Flaccus, Imperator, established the judgment). See J. S. Richardson, JRS 73, 1983, 33-41, for text, discussion, and previous bibliography. See also C. Ebel, Phoenix 29, 1975, 363; his province included only western Transalpina. (Broughton MRR III)
    • p. 746, footnote 257 (Brennan 2000)
  • Repulsa (Cos.) c. 94 (Pina Polo 2012) Expand
    • pp. 65-72 (Pina Polo 2012)
  • Consul 93 (Broughton MRR II) Expand
    • CIL 12 .2.704, 890; I. de Delos 4.1.1764; Fast. Ant., Degrassi 164f., and Fast. Cap., ibid. 54f., 129, 480f.; Plin. NH 19.40; Obseq. 52; Chr. 3.54; Fast. Hyd.; Chr. Pasc.; Cassiod. Flaccus was sent to Spain to quell a Celtiberian revolt, either during or immediately after his consulship (see note 2, and 92, Promagistrates). (Broughton MRR II)
  • Proconsul 92 Hispania Citerior, Hispania Ulterior? (Broughton MRR II) Expand
    • 7 Appian implies that the revolt which was crushed by Flaccus (almost certainly Valerius Flaccus) followed soon upon the operations of Didius in Spain (see 93, Promagistrates), and preceded by a considerable interval the wars between the followers of Sulla and Marius. Wilsdorf (Leipzig. Stud. 1. 112) therefore has a good basis for placing him as Consul or Proconsul in Nearer Spain about this time. He appears in 83 in command of Narbonese Gaul and in 81 celebrated a triumph ex Celtiberia et Gallia, perhaps including a reference to his earlier victory (see 83-81, Promagistrates). See however Münzer, Gent. Val. 42, no. 26, and Jashemski (126), who are inclined to date his Spanish command with his Gallic one. (Broughton MRR II)
    • Proconsul in Nearer Spain, where he crushed a revolt of the Celtiberi about Belgida (App. Ib. 100). (Broughton MRR II)
    • Cos. 93. Praetor 96. In MRR 2.9 add that he was praetor urbanus (Cic. Balb. 55). Procos. Spain 92, Gaul 85? to 81. His command in Spain may have included both provinces and apparently continued without interruption until his return in 81.

  • Proconsul 85 Hispania Citerior, Hispania Ulterior?, Gallia Transalpina (Broughton MRR II) Expand
    • 3 Valerius' title is not recorded. Münzer (Gent. Val. 42) holds that there was an interval between his consulship and the command from which he triumphed (see 81, Promagistrates). From Cicero it appears that he was governor of Gaul in 83, but the fragment of the Pro Flacco preserved in Schol. Bob. indicates that the son of the L. Valerius Flaccus, Cos. 86, who was hilled in Asia by Fimbria, took refuge in Gaul with his uncle, presumably in 85. The coins are dated by Grueber to 83 and later, when Cicero tells us he was using the title Imperator. (Broughton MRR II)
    • Held a command in Transalpine Gaul for some years before 81 (Cic. Quinct. 28, and cf. 24 on the date; Caes. BG 1.47.4; Schol. Bob. 96 Stangl; on his coins, see Grueber, CRRBM 2.388-390). (Broughton MRR II)
