Career

• Officer (Title Not Preserved) 89 (Taylor 1960) Expand
  • Consilium of 89. CIL 6.37045. ILS 8888. (Taylor 1960)
• Legatus (Lieutenant) 82 (Broughton MRR III) Expand
  • Legate under Sulla (Sall. Hist. 1.46M). In the war and the proscriptions he secured the death of his brother, his wife's brother, Marius Gratidianus, and his sister's husband, Q. Caecilius, and enriched himself greatly (Q. Cic. Comm. Pet. 9-10; Sall. Hist. 1.44M; Ascon. 90C; Senec. Ira 5.18.1; Plut. Sull. 32.2; Cic. 10.2; Schol. Bern. on Lucan 2.173, pp. 61-62U; cf. Val. Max. 9.2.1; and on his wealth, Q. Cic. Comm. Pet. 9; Sall. Cat. 5.2; 21.4; 35.3; 51.34). He was probably the Legate who carried the heads of the Marian leaders to Praeneste (Sall. Hist. 1.44M; App. BC 1.93; Oros. 5.21.8). (Broughton MRR II)
  • Pr. 68. Legatus of Sulla, 82-80. Maurenbrecher applies the fragment from Festus (210L) in Sall. Hist. 1.46M, magnis operibus perfectis obsidium cepit (read coepit) per L. Catilinam legatum, to the siege of Praeneste in 82, but Keaveney and Strachan have shown that it may also be applied to another siege in the period, such as those of Nola or Aesernia (cf. Liv. Per. 89; Gran. Lic. 36.8-9, p. 25 Criniti; CQ 31, 1981, 363-366). Propr. Africa 67-66. See MRR 2.147, 155. Sumner accepts the implication of Sall. Cat. 18.2-3 that Catiline's candidacy for the consulship of 65 was not in the original election (he was probably still in Africa then) but in the supplementary election after the original victors had been convicted of ambitus. He notes that his professio was refused by Volcatius and his consilium because he had not been able to make it intra legitimos dies (Sall. loc. cit.; cf. Ascon. 89C; Dio 36.43.3-4; R. Seager, Historia 13, 1964, 338-339). He was perhaps trying to anticipate the prosecution de repetundis which eventuated the next year. In MRR 2.155, refer also to Cic. Cael. 10 on his trial. See Sumner, Phoenix 19, 1965, 226-231. (Broughton MRR III)

• Praetor 68 (Broughton MRR II) Expand
  • 7 According to Asconius (85, and 89 C) Catiline became governor of Africa ex practura, and after his term returned to Rome in time to present himself as a candidate for the consulship of 65. His praetorship must therefore be dated in 68 at the latest, which is also the latest possible year under the Cornelian law. (Broughton MRR II)
  • Ascon. 85, and 89 C. See 67, Promagistrates. (Broughton MRR II)
  • p. 752, footnote 397 (Brennan 2000)
• Propraetor 67 Africa (Broughton MRR II) Expand
  • Propraetor in Africa (Cic. Cael. 10, praetor; Ascon. 66, 85, and 89 C), where his exactions caused embassies in protest before his return (Ascon.), and refusal of his candidacy for the consulship of 65 because of the imminence of his trial for extortion (Sall. Cat. 18.3; cf. Cic. Cael. 10). (Broughton MRR II)
• Propraetor 66 Africa (Broughton MRR II) Expand
  • Propraetor in Africa (see 67, Promagistrates). Protests against his conduct in Africa were taken up by the Consuls in 66 before his return (Ascon. 85 C; cf. Cic. Cael. 10). See above, Consuls, on his candidacy for the consulship; and on his trial for extortion, Cic. Att. 1.1.1, and 2.1-2; Q. Cic. Comm. Pet. 10; Ascon. 89, and 92 C. (Broughton MRR II)
