    • 4 Sulpicius was not in office in 70 when Verres rejected him from the jury (Cic. Verr. 2.1.18), nor is it probable that he held the aedileship after 69, since he was a candidate for the consulship of 63 (Cic. Att. 1.1.1). Bardt (Priester 15), Seidel (FA 54f.), and Münzer (RE) place his aedileship in 71, believing him excluded from 69 by the aedileships of Cicero and Caesonius, but with L. R. Taylor's demonstration that they were almost certainly Aediles of the Plebs (see note 5), this year becomes available for Sulpicius. See Pontifices. The evidence above excludes Sydenharn's dating in 65 (page lxiv of his forthcoming work). (Broughton MRR II)
    • Pr. 66? Aed. cur. 69. In MRR 2.132, refer also to Crawford, RRC 1.418, no. 406. Praetor 66. In MRR 2.152, note that he may possibly be the praetorius Galba (RE no. 48) who was killed by mutinous troops of Caesar in 47 (Plut. Caes. 51.5; cf. Dio 42.52.2). See Shackleton Bailey, CLA 1.289, on Att. 1.1.1; and below, on (Sulpicius) Galba, Pr. by 48. (Broughton MRR III)

  • Pontifex 69 to 48 (Rüpke 2005) Expand
    • The following persons, named in a list in Macrobius (Sat. 3.13.11) appear to have entered the college of Pontifices after Caesar was inaugurated in 73 and before P. Sulpicius Galba, who entered at the latest in 69 (see L. R. Taylor, AJPh 63 [1942] 385-412): (Broughton MRR II)
    • 11 See Aediles, Curule, on Galba. He is not named in the list in Macrobius but appears on that of Cicero in 57, while the coins inscribed P. Galb. cur. aed., bear symbols of the pontificate. The latest date for his cooptation is therefore 69, and it may be slightly earlier. See note 13. (Broughton MRR II)
    • The full list of the college of Pontifices, including the Flamen Martialis and the Flamen Quirinalis (no Flamen Dialis had been inaugurated since the death of Merula in 87) and the Pontifices Minores, as it was composed on September 29, 57, can be reconstructed from Cic. Har. Resp. 12: (Broughton MRR II)
  • Praetor 66 (Broughton MRR II) Expand
    • Since Minucius appears to be a name imported from the consular lists for 497 and 491 and used both here and in the legend of Horatius Cocles (cf. Dio fr. 24.5), it is probable that the P. Veturius of Plutarch's text should be identified with the C. Veturius (Liv. 2.19.1; L. in Cassiod.) who was Consul in 499. (Broughton MRR I)
    • 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)
    • A candidate for the consulship of 63 (Cic. Att. 1.1.1; Mur. 17; Cic. Comm. Pet. 7; Ascon. 82 C). If his aedileship is correctly dated in 69, this is the most probable year for his praetorship. (Broughton MRR II)
