Career

  • Quaestor 72 Sicilia (Broughton MRR III) Expand
    • Quaestor under Verres in Sicily (Cic. Verr. 2.3.168, and 5.114). (Broughton MRR II)
    • The monetalis (14) is dated by Crawford, RRC 1.414, no. 404, to 70 B.C.; see MRR 2.455 for earlier datings. He may be identified with T. Vettius (11), quaestor under Verres in Sicily in 72 and probably 71, based on Syracuse (Cic. Verr. 2.3.168; 2.5.135, esp. 114; see N. Marinone, AAT 100, 1965- 1966, 219-252, esp. 230-231). He is taken to be the praetor in 59 (14) who presided over the trial of C. Valerius Flaccus in the quaestio de repetundis (Cic. Flacc. 85), and was proconsul in Africa the next year (MRR 2.189, but with a query added, and 198). Gruen doubts this since L. Lucullus, addressed in the same passage, was there only as a juror. Vettius too may be no more than a juror and his legacy in Africa no more than an inheritance from a previous governorship (Latomus 32, 1973, 308, note 10). The point at issue is the propriety of getting profits while governor, and the tenses of venerit, amittes, and retinebis imply a future event in Africa, so it seems preferable to consider Vettius the coming governor of Africa, and his present position a praetorship. See Shackleton Bailey, HSPh 83, 1979, 261, on Cic. Flacc. 85. (Broughton MRR III)
