    • 3 In one of the inscriptions cited above (IG 12.8.24 1) L. Iulius Caesar is termed [# and in the other, if it really refers to him (note that on the stone the praenomen is Gaius), [#. On the coins he is termed Pr(aetor?). Gäbler (Ant. Münz. Nordgriechentands 3.1.69f., and ZN, loc. cit.) places him in Macedonia in 93/92, but has overlooked the fact that his successor Sentius was Praetor Urbanus in 94 and almost certainly proceeded immediately afterwards to Macedonia. Accordingly, Caesar's praetorship should be dated in 95 and his governorship in 94 at the latest. See Jashemski 54, and 130, note 1. (Broughton MRR II)

  • Consul 90 (Broughton MRR II) Expand
    • Cic. Div. 1.4; Font. 43; Fast. Ant., Degrassi 164f., and Fast. Cap., ibid. 54f., 129, 480f.; Vell. 2.15.1; Plin. NH 2.98; Obseq. 55; Chr. 354; Chr. Pasc.; Fast. Hyd.; Cassiod.; on Caesar, Cic. Planc. 51; Val. Max. 9.2.2, with praenomen C.; and on Rutilius, Vell. 2.16.4. In the Social War Caesar held general command in the southern area, and there, after reverses near Aesernia and in southern Campania, he routed the Samnites at Acerrae (App. BC 1.40-42, with confusion between Sextus and Lucius Caesar; Liv. Per. 73; Diod. 37.17-19; Flor. 2.6.12-14, with confusion between the Consuls; Oros. 5.18.11 and 14-15). In Rome he carried his law to give citizenship to all Latins and Italians who had remained loyal (Cic. Balb. 21; Gell. 4.4.3; App. BC 1.49; cf. Sisenna, fr. 119 Peter; Vell. 2.16.4), and to permit commanders to grant it de consili sententia (ILS 8888; cf. Cic. Balb. 19). Rutilius, who held command in the northern theatre, refused to heed the advice of Marius to wait and train his recruits, and on June 11 was routed and killed in the Tolenus valley (Liv. Per. 73; Vell. 2.16.4; App. BC 1.40, and 43; Flor. 2.6.12, with confusion of the names; Dio 29, fr. 98.1-2; Eutrop. 5.3.2; Obseq. 55; Oros. 5.18.11-12; and on the date, Ovid Fasti 6.563-566).

  • Censor 89 (Broughton MRR II) Expand
    • Cic. Arch. 11; Fast. Ant., Degrassi 164f., and Fast. Cap., ibid., 54f., 129, 480f.; on Crassus, Plut. Crass. 1; and on Caesar, ILS 8770-OGIS 440; Val. Max. 9.2.2, with praenomen C.; Ascon. 25 C. They completed the lustrum (Fast. Ant.; Fast. Cap.), but without completing a census of the citizens (Cic. Arch. 11), and apparently without satisfying an augural decree requiring them to fix a date for a meeting of an assembly (Fest. 366L). They issued decrees regulating the sale and prices of foreign perfumes and wines (Plin. NH 13.24; 14.95, readingsingulos quartarios, Frank, AJPh 52 [1931] 278). Caesar exempted the land of Ilium from taxes (OGIS 440-ILS 8770). M. Aemilius Scaurus probably remained Princeps Senatus (see 88, Pontifices). (Broughton MRR II)
