Career

  • Legatus (Lieutenant) 71 Italia (Broughton MRR II) Expand
    • Legate under Crassus against Spartacus (Frontin. Str. 2.4.7). (Broughton MRR II)
    • Pr. 63. Combine the entries under these two names (see MRR 2.125, 167, and Index, 605) as C. Pomptinus, since the text of Frontin. Str. 2.4.7 on the legate of 71 should be emended to Pomptinus.[167] (Broughton MRR III)
  • Praetor 63 Rome (Broughton MRR II) Expand
    • Aided in the arrest of the Allobrogian envoys, and the capture of the letters which incriminated the Catilinarian conspirators (Cic. Cat. 3.5 and 14; Flacc. 102; Sall. Cat. 45; cf. Cic. Prov. Cons. 32). See Lübker 839. (Broughton MRR II)
    • p. 753, footnote 426 (Brennan 2000)
  • Promagistrate 62 Gallia Transalpina (Broughton MRR II) Expand
    • Governor (his title is not preserved) of Transalpine Gaul, where in 62 and 61 he checked and repressed a rebellion of the Allobroges (Cic. Prov. Cow. 32; Dio 37.47-48; 39.65.1-2; Liv. Per. 103; Schol. Bob. 149-150 Stangl). See Lübker 839. (Broughton MRR II)

  • Promagistrate 60 Gallia Transalpina (Broughton MRR II) Expand
    • Governor in Transalpine Gaul (see 62-61, Promagistrates). Metellus Celer was to succeed him (see above, Consuls), but since he apparently lost his province it is probable that Pomptinus is Caesar's immediate predecessor. It is uncertain when he returned to Rome to demand his triumph (Cic. Att. 1.19.2; cf. Prov. Cons. 32). See59-54, Promagistrates. (Broughton MRR II)
