Career

  • Augur? 88 to 80 (Rüpke 2005)
  • Augur 79 to 40 (Rüpke 2005) Expand
    • Inaugurated Lentulus as Flamen Martialis (Macrob. Sat. 3.13.11; cf. Fest. 154 L; Priscian 8. 15; Macrob. Sat. 1. 16.29). (Broughton MRR II)
    • Fast. Sacerd., CIL 12.1, p. 60, no. 3-ILS 9338, no. 3; of. Grueber, CRRBM 2.501. Lucius Caesar's name is not preserved on the inscription, but it is probable that he is the one whom Sempronius succeeded (see Münzer, Hermes 52 [1917] 152-155). On Sempronius, see PIR 3.194, no. 260; De Laet no. 332. (Broughton MRR II)
  • Quaestor 77 Asia (Broughton MRR II) Expand
    • Served in Asia (OGIS 444-SEG 4.664). See Magie, Roman Rule in Asia Minor 2.1119, note 24. (Broughton MRR II)
    • Quaestor 77 in Asia. In MRR 2.89, refer also to L. Robert, Monnaies antiques en Troade 16-17; C. Nicolet et al., Insula Sacra 118-119. Censor 61. A new study of the Lex Gabinia-Calpurnia de Delo of 58 (CIL 1(2).2500), by which the island was freed from tribute, yields at line 21 the following text: . . . IN LO]CATIONE Q[U]AM L(UCIUS) CAE[SAR C(AIUS) CURIO CENS(ORES) I]NSULAE DELEI FECERU[NT ... (C. Nicolet et al., Insula Sacra 149 for the text, and esp. 84-96, and 111-125 for the discussion). The locatio in question would most naturally be the one made by the most recent censors, i.e., those of 61, who have remained unknown (see MRR 2.179). The editors have shown that the L. CAE(sar) in this inscription should be the consul of 64, and make it also probable that a long-known inscription of Ilium honoring a L. Iulius Caesar, a censor (OGIS 440-ILS 8770; cf. P. Frisch, Die Inschriften von Ilion 172), which has been referred to his father (142). Cos. 90 (see MRR 2.32-33), should in fact be referred to him. (Broughton MRR III)

(Lucio Caesare et Figulo), so also Chr. Pasc.; Cassiod. See Degrassi 131, 490f. Under these Consuls decrees of the Senate were passed limiting the attendants upon candidates for election, and making the collegia illegal (Cic. Mur. 71; Pis. 8, and Ascon. 8 C). (Broughton MRR II)
