Career

  • Tribunus Plebis 87 (Broughton MRR II) Expand
    • Instituted proceedings against Sulla at Cinna's instigation (Cic. Brut. 179; Plut. Sull. 10.4, emending #). (Broughton MRR II)
    • Tr. pl. 87. Badian (Studies 100, note 89) would prefer the variant name Verginius in the manuscript tradition of Cic. Brut. 179 and in Plut. Sulla 10.4. Wiseman, NM 272, no. 477, accepts Vergilius, and notes the name of C. Vergilius Balbus, Pr. 62 (see MRR 2.173, 181, 191, 198, 205, and cf. Cic. Prov. Cons. 7, C. Vergilius). (Broughton MRR III)
    • p. 257-63 (Thommen 1989)
  • Monetalis 86 (RRC) Expand
    • Monetalis. In MRR 2.455, and Index, 633, refer also to Crawford, RRC 1.364-366, no. 350A, 86 B.C., with Gor[gonius] (4) and Ogulnius (1). Badian considers it probable that the name was Ver(ginius) (Studies 85, and 100, note 87). Crawford would identify him with M. Vergilius (4), Tr. pl. 87. See Syme, Historia 13, 1964, 117-RP 2.595; Wiseman, NC 1964, 157. (Broughton MRR III)
