  • Praetor 66 Asia (Broughton MRR III) Expand
    • 2 As in the list of Praetors given in 67, only eight of the nine listed above can have held the praetorship in 66. None can be later; three, Caesonius, Cornificius, and Sulpicius Galba, may be earlier, while the date of Varinius depends upon the correct order of the governors of Asia. (Broughton MRR II)
    • See 68, note 9, on governors of Asia; and 65, Promagistrates. (Broughton MRR II)
    • See MRR 2.632, Index, and under the years listed there. On his second praetorship (in 66, not 65) and his proconsulate in Asia (65, not 64), see MRR 2.142, note 9, and insert at line 12 of the note the following two lines which were omitted by mistake in the first printing: "his praetorship (that of Aufidius) should not be dated later than 66 and his command in Asia than 65. But since Varinius was his immediate successor (Cic. Flacc. 45) and the governors of 64 and afterwards are known, his praetorship should be placed in 67 and that of Varinius in 66, his command in Asia in 66 and that of Varinius in 65. Lange . . . ."
