Career

  • Propraetor? 73 Macedonia?, Achaea? (Broughton MRR II) Expand
    • He is termed ex praetore Achaiae in Schol. Gron. (332 Stangl), against whom a prosecution was being arranged in order to postpone the prosecution of Verres, but other sources suggest that he was a suborned prosecutor, not a former governor being prosecuted in 70 (Cic. Verr. 1.6; Ps.-Ascon. 207, 236 Stangl; Schol. Gron. 331 Stangl). There is no apparent break in the series of governors of Macedonia in this period. (Broughton MRR II)
