Career

  • Pontifex? 100 to 82 (Rüpke 2005) Expand
    • 28 There is obviously an error in the garbled notice in Auct. Vir. Ill. 63.3: adolescens in petitione praeturae et pontificatus consularibus viris praelatus est. The eminence of his family suggests that he attained the priesthood at an early age, long before his praetorship in this year, but mention of his election shows that it was after the passage of the Lex Domitia in 104. See L. R. Taylor, AJPh 63 (1942) 400f. (Broughton MRR II)
  • Praetor? 89 Italia (Broughton MRR II) Expand
    • 6 As Praetor he registered new citizens at Rome in 89, so the title praetor must refer to imperium as a promagistrate. For the suggestion that the Legate of Pompeius Strabo named in Liv. Per. 77 (Pinna Mss; Pius, Rossbach) is M. Caecilius Cornutus, see 89, Legates; and below, Legates, on Cornutus. (Broughton MRR II)
    • Probably as Proconsul, he succeeded Cosconius, harried Apulia, captured Venusia, and destroyed in battle (Broughton MRR II)
    • Cos. 80. Monetalis, the issue of coins inscribed Q.C.M.P.I. In MRR 2.434, and Index, 539-540, refer also to Crawford, RRC 1.390, no. 374, 81 B.C. Praetor 89 or 88. See below, on P. Gabinius (13), leg., envoy to Marius and Cinna, 87. Refer also to Diod. 38-39.2. B. R. Katz holds that 89 is the more probable date of his praetorship (The Siege of Rome in 84 B.C., CPh 71, 1976, 328-336, esp. 330, note 9). Proconsul. He continued in Africa until expelled by the governor C. Fabius Hadrianus in 84? (MRR 2.60, reading # for # in App. BC 1.80; E. Linden, De bello civili Sullano 57, Freiburg in Br. 1896). A. Keaveney (Klio 66, 1984, 130) keeps the ms reading in Appian and holds that when driven out of Africa he went to Liguria before joining Sulla (cf. E. Gabba, Comm. Appian BC 1.80, 365, who quotes Linden, above, and suggests that Metellus may have gone to Liguria first). Cos. 80, Procos. in Hisp. Ult., 79-71. See below, on Q. Sertorius (3). (Broughton MRR III)

    • p. 747, footnote 281 (Brennan 2000)
  • Proconsul 87 Samnium? (Broughton MRR II) Expand
    • 6 Metellus' title is not recorded in our sources, but his dealings with Samnites, Senate and Consuls show that he possessed imperium though he deferred to the Consul. (Broughton MRR II)
    • Probably continued in command in Samnium. During the Bellum Octavianum he made, at the Senate's command, an attempt to negotiate a peace with the Samnites (Sall. Hist. 1.28 M; App. BC 1.68; Gran. Lic. 27 B; Dio 30-35, fr. 102.6-7). He came to Rome to oppose the Marians, but refused the request of the soldiers that he take command from the Consul Octavius (Plut. Mar. 42.3; cf. Gran. Lic. 25, and 29B). He approached Cinna as an Envoy of the Senate (Gran. Lic. 2913; cf. Plut. Mar. 43.1). He later retired to Africa (see 86, Promagistrates). (Broughton MRR II)
  • Legatus (Envoy) 87 (Broughton MRR II) Expand
    • Headed a delegation sent by the Senate to negotiate with Marius and Cinna (Gran. Lic. 29B; cf. Diod. 38.2). (Broughton MRR II)
  • Proconsul 86 Africa (Broughton MRR II) Expand
    • 4 As Metellus Pius never surrendered his imperium his party considered that his possession of it was continuous (App. BC 1.81, #, with Sulla), but the Marians doubtless had abrogated it as in the eases of Ap. Claudius and Sulla. (Broughton MRR II)
    • Withdrew to Africa, which he held until driven out by Fabius Hadrianus, then to Liguria, and in 83 joined Sulla in Italy (Liv. Per. 84; Plut. Crass. 6.2; cf. App. BC 1.80). (Broughton MRR II)

  • Pontifex Maximus 81 to 64 (Rüpke 2005) Expand
    • 7 This election could hardly be held before Sulla was established in power, and consequently is placed in 81, though Scaevola, his predecessor, was killed in 82. See 82, Pontifices. (Broughton MRR II)
    • Succeeded Q. Mucius Scaevola as Pontifex Maximus (Ascon. 79C; Plut. Caes. 7.1; Dio 37.37.1; Macrob. Sat. 3.13.10-11; cf. Sall. Cat. 49.2). (Broughton MRR II)
