Career

  • Tribunus Plebis 66 (Broughton MRR II) Expand
    • His first measure was a bill, hastily carried and promptly annulled, to distribute the votes of the freedmen in all the tribes (Cic. Corn. 1, fr. 8-10, and 16, and 47, cf. Ascon. 45, and 64-65, and 76 C; Mur. 47; Dio 36.42.1-3). The second was the famous law to give Pompey command of the provinces of Cilicia and Bithynia and Pontus, and of the war against Mithridates (Cic. Corn. 1, fr. 16; Leg. Man. passim; Fam. 1.9.11; Phil. 11.18; Mur. 34; Orat. 102; Q. Cic. Comm. Pet. 51; Vell. 2.33.1; Liv. Per. 100; Ascon. 60, and 65 C; Quintil. Inst. Or. 2.4.40; Plut. Pomp. 30; Luc. 35.7; App. Mith. 97; Dio 36.42-44; Eutrop. 6.12.2; Schol. Bob. 119 Stangl; Zonar. 10.4, #). Manilius was accused in 66 at the end of his term of office for res repetundae before Cicero (Plut. Cic. 9.4-6; Q. Cic. Comm. Pet. 51; Ascon. 60, and 65 C; Dio 36.44.1-2), and in 65 for maiestas before another Praetor and convicted (Ascon. 60 C; Schol. Bob. 119 Stangl; Schol. Gron. 322 Stangl; cf. Val. Max. 6.2.4). (Broughton MRR II)
    • Tr. Pl. 66. See MRR 2.153. An attempt to continue his prosecution for res repetundae early in 65 was broken up, it seems, by disorders (Ascon. 60C, 65-66C; cf. Dio 36.44.1-2). Manilius failed to appear when prosecuted again de maiestate and was condemned in absentia (Ascon. 60C; Schol. Bob. 119St; cf. Schol. Gron. 322St). He probably is not the Manilius Crispus who was later attacked by Cn. Piso (Val. Max. 6.2.4); see A. M. Ward, TAPhA 101, 1970, 550, note 17. For discussions and possible connections with the ?first Catilinarian Conspiracy,? see E. J. Phillips, Latomus 29, 1970, 598-607; RhM 116, 1973, 353-357, with E. S. Gruen, CPh 64, 1969, 23. See also A. M. Ward, TAPhA 101, 1970, 545-556; B. A. Marshall, CPh 72, 1977, 318-320. (Broughton MRR III)
