Career

  • Legatus (Lieutenant) 77 Hispania Citerior (Broughton MRR III) Expand
    • Leg., lieut. under Pompey in Spain 77?ca. 73 or 72, and definitely mentioned at the battle of the Sucro (Plut. Sert. 19.3; cf. Pomp. 19; Cic. Balb. 5; on the date, 76 or 75?, see below, on Pompeius [31] and Sertorius [3]). Praetor 72? He must have held a praetorship before becoming proconsul in Spain. Proconsul in Hisp. Cit., 71?-67? His capture of Calagurris Nasica only after a long and desperate siege when other communities had already surrendered to Pompey suggests that he had succeeded to the command when Pompey and Metellus had returned to Italy (Oros. 5.23.14; cf. Sall. Hist. 3.86 and 87 M; Val. Max. 7.6, ext. 3; Flor. 2.10.9; Exsuperant. 8, who credits Pompey with the capture; on their return, see Cic. Leg. Man. 30; cf. App. BC 1.119; Plut. Crass. 11.3). For his relationship with Valentia, perhaps also late in surrendering, see ILS 878-ILLRP 385. The date of his return and triumph is uncertain (Cic. Pis. 58, undated; cf. MRR 2.133, perhaps 69), and since he did not become a legatus with Pompey again until the command against Mithridates in 66, it may have been as late as 68 or 67. See Ch. F.

    • 5 Afranius was Legate of Pompey in the war against Sertorius (see 75-72, Legates), and in the war against Mithridates (see 66-64, Legates). His praetorship, provincial command, and subsequent triumph (Cic. Pis. 58), since the latter cannot follow that of Pompey (Degrassi 565), must all be placed in the period between 72 and 67. 1 suggest 71 for his praetorship and 70-69 for his provincial command and triumph. The province is unknown, but might be one of the Spains or Transalpine Gaul (see Syme, JRS 28 [1938] 120, note 56; Degrassi 565, who suggests 70 as a possible date for the triumph).

His capture of Calagurris Nasica only after a long and desperate siege when other communities had already surrendered to Pompey suggests that he had succeeded to the command when Pompey and Metellus had returned to Italy (Oros. 5.23.14; cf. Sall. Hist. 3.86 and 87 M; Val. Max. 7.6, ext. 3; Flor. 2.10.9; Exsuperant. 8, who credits Pompey with the capture; on their return, see Cic. Leg. Man. 30; cf. App. BC 1.119; Plut. Crass. 11.3). For his relationship with Valentia, perhaps also late in surrendering, see ILS 878-ILLRP 385. The date of his return and triumph is uncertain (Cic. Pis. 58, undated; cf. MRR 2.133, perhaps 69), and since he did not become a legatus with Pompey again until the command against Mithridates in 66, it may have been as late as 68 or 67. See Ch. F.

Pupius Piso (10), and places his triumph in 69 but admits 67 as the terminus ante quem. See Badian, Mel. Piganiol 2.913, note 4, for the suggestion that he held a Gallic province after his praetorship (ca. 70-69) and triumphed from there. See also C. Ebel, Phoenix 29, 1975, 358-373, esp. 366ff.

    • That these Legates continued in command for at least three years, and probably more, is indicated by the term of command of Gellius over his fleet (Cic. P. Red. ad Quir. 17, referring almost certainly to 63). (Broughton MRR II)

Metellus as Consul-Designate and as Consul opposed the measures desired by Pompey, and also the demands of the companies of publicans for remission of their contracts for the taxes of Asia, and carried his opposition to the Pompeian Tribune Flavius to the point of being haled to prison (Cic. Att. 1. 17-20, and esp. 2. 1.8; Dio 37.49-50). He opposed the attempts of his brother-in-law Clodius to transfer himself to the Plebs (Cic. Att. 2.1.4-5, cf. 1.18.5; Har.
