Career

  • Legatus (Envoy) 72 (Broughton MRR II) Expand
    • Sent by Lucullus to demand from King Tigranes of Armenia the surrender of Mithridates (Plut. Luc. 19. 1; Memnon 46, in FGrH 3B.360; cf. App. Mith. 83). See 71, Legates. (Broughton MRR II)
  • Legatus (Envoy) 71 (Broughton MRR II) Expand
    • Lucullus sent him to Tigranes of Armenia to demand the surrender of Mithridates (see 72, Legates). He spent the long delay at Antioch before Tigranes received him in attempting to alienate the king's cities and vassals from him; and finally returned to Lucullus late in 71 or early in 70 with a refusal (Plut. Luc. 21; 23.2; Memnon 46, in FGrH 3B.360). (Broughton MRR II)
  • Legatus (Envoy) 70 (Broughton MRR II) Expand
    • See 71, Legates, Envoys. (Broughton MRR II)
  • Augur? 65 to 64 (Rüpke 2005)
  • Augur 63 to 48 (Rüpke 2005) Expand
    • A probable member of the college of Augurs on the eve of the death of Hortensius. (Broughton MRR II)
    • Cic. Fam. 2.13.2; 3.4.2, and 8.9, and 9.3, and 10.9, and 11.4; Brut. 267; Div. 1.29 and 105, referring to 63 B.C.; 2.75; Leg. 2.32-33; Varro RR 3.2.2, and 7.1; Fest. 214, 382, 462-464 L. (Broughton MRR II)
    • P. Vatinius succeeded Ap. Claudius Pulcher. See 47, Augurs. (Broughton MRR II)
    • Cos. 54. Procos. Cilicia 53-51. The charges against Ap. Claudius in 51 were not res repetundae as stated in Auct. Vir. Ill. 82.4, but ambitus and maiestas (Cic. Fam. 3.11.1-3; 31.L Shackleton Bailey, CLF 1.377-380; Gruen, LGRR 352, and note 194). Augur, by 63 to 48. A possible reference in Festus 462L. Procos. 48. Correct the statement in MRR 2.261 regarding his command in Greece, as Cic. Att. 8.15.3 shows that he did not have imperium when he left Italy in 49, and, as Shackleton Bailey points out, he could still have been censor at that time (CLA 5, 355). An inscription of Karystos confirms that he was proconsul in Achaea in 48 (H. J. Mason and M. B. Wallace, Hesperia 41, 1972, 128-140; cf. AJA 75, 1971, 208). Cf. MRR 2.276. (Broughton MRR III)
  • Praetor 57 repetundae, Rome (Broughton MRR II) Expand
    • Cic. Alt. 3.17.1. Did not join his colleagues in supporting Cicero's recall (Cic. Att. 4.1.6; Dom. 87; Sest. 16, 77- 89, and 126; Pis. 35; Mil. 39; Ascon. 11 C; Schol. Bob. 122, 127f., 138; Dio 39.6-7), and continued to support his brother (Cic. Att. 4.2.3, and 3.3-4; Dom. 12; Dio 39.6-7). (Broughton MRR II)
    • p. 754, footnote 459 (Brennan 2000)
  • Promagistrate 56 Sardinia (Broughton MRR II) Expand
    • Governor of Sardinia, title not preserved (Plut. Caes. 21.2, at Luca., cf. Cic. QF 2.4.6). (Broughton MRR II)
  • Consul 54 (Broughton MRR II) Expand
    • CIL 12.2.927-929; Cic. QF 2.13.3; Caes. BG 5.1.1; Ascon. 1, and 18 C; Dio 39, Index, and 60.2; 40, Index, and 1.1; Obseq. 64 (Gneo Domitio Appio Claudio); Chr. 354 (Aenobarbo et Phucro); Fast. Hyd. (Achenobarbo et Pulchro), so also Chr. Pasc.; Cassiod.; and on Clandius, Schol. Bob. 152 Stangl. See Degrassi 132, 494f. Domitius continued in strong opposition to the Triumvirate and their henchmen, against Caesar (Suet. Nero 2.2, cf. Iul. 24), against Gabinius (Cic. QF 2.11.2; Dio 39.60.3-4), and even opposed burial honors for Iulia (Dio 39.64). Claudius became reconciled with Cicero (Fam. 1.9.4 and 19; 3.10.8 and 10; QF 2.10.1-3; Scaur. 31-37), first aided Gabinius by using comitial days to delay the proceedings against him (Cic. QF 2.11.3), then attacked him (QF 3.2.3; Dio 39.60.3-4), aided Pomptinus at last to obtain his triumph (see Promagistrates), served along with a commission of ten Legates to settle disputes between Interamna and Reate (Varro RR 3.2.3; cf. Cic. Scaur. 27; Att. 4.15.5), and vowed a propylon to Demeter at Eleusis (CIL 12 .2.775). Both Consuls were involved in the election scandal of this year (Cic. Att. 4.15.7, and 17.2; cf. QF 3.1.16, and 2.3, and 3.2). Claudius proceeded to his province of Cilicia, probably without the benefit of a Lex curiata de imperio (Cic. Att. 4.18.4; Fam. 1.9.25; QF 3.2.3). (Broughton MRR II)
  • Promagistrate 53 Cilicia (Broughton MRR II) Expand
    • Proconsul in Cilicia (cistophori of Laodiceia and of Apameia, Head, HN² 678, and 666; B. M. Catalogues, Phrygia lxxv and 281f., xxxiii and 7 2f.). Acclaimed Imperator (coins, see above; Cic. Fam. 3. 1, and 2). He was a harsh and rapacious governor (Cic. Fam. 3.8; 15.4.2; Att. 6.1.2 and 6, and 2.8), and upon his return was prosecuted unsuccessfully for extortion (Cael. in Cic. Fam. 8.6.1-3; Fam. 3.10, and 11.2, and 12; Att. 6.2.10; Brut. 230, 324; Auct. Vir. Ill. 82.4). (Broughton MRR II)
    • Cos. 54. Procos. Cilicia 53-51. The charges against Ap. Claudius in 51 were not res repetundae as stated in Auct. Vir. Ill. 82.4, but ambitus and maiestas (Cic. Fam. 3.11.1-3; 31.L Shackleton Bailey, CLF 1.377-380; Gruen, LGRR 352, and note 194). Augur, by 63 to 48. A possible reference in Festus 462L. Procos. 48.

Att. 8.15.3 shows that he did not have imperium when he left Italy in 49, and, as Shackleton Bailey points out, he could still have been censor at that time (CLA 5, 355).

  • Promagistrate 51 Cilicia (Broughton MRR II) Expand
    • Proconsul in Cilicia (see 53, Proconsuls). He finally left Cilicia M August (Cic. Att. 5.16.4, and 17.6; Fam. 3.2- 6, esp. 7.4-5), and though as Imperator he claimed a triumph he gave up his imperium (late in 51 or early in 50), when threatened with a prosecution for extortion (Cic. Fam. 3.9.2; Att. 6.2.10; Cael. in Cic. Fam. 8.6.1-3). (Broughton MRR II)
    • Cos. 54. Procos. Cilicia 53-51. The charges against Ap. Claudius in 51 were not res repetundae as stated in Auct. Vir. Ill. 82.4, but ambitus and maiestas (Cic.

Appius Claudius set about a partisan housecleaning, making inquiries into possession of works of art, landholding, debts (Cael. in Cic. Fam. 8.14.4; cf. Att. 6.9.5), and immoral practices (Cael. in Cic. Fam. 8. 12.1-2, and 14.4). Among many others, he expelled the historian Sallust from the Senate for immorality (Dio 40.63.4; cf. Ps.-Cic. Inv. in Sall. 16), and C. Atcius Capito for falsification of auspices (Cic. Div. 1.29). Piso was more moderate, protected Curio from his colleague (Cael. in Cic. Fam. 8. 17. 1; Plut. Pomp. 58.4; Dio 40.63-64); and at the beginning of 49 attempted to mediate the dispute with Caesar (Caes. BC 1.3.6; cf. Cic. Fam. 14.14.8; Att. 7.13.1; see 49, Legates, Envoys). (Broughton MRR II)
