    • A supporter of Caesar, Pompey, and Crassus (Cic. Vat. 38; Sest. 114; Schol. Bob. 135, and 151 Stangl; and on his name, Cic. Planc. 104). (Broughton MRR II)

  • Praetor? 54 maiestas (Broughton MRR II) Expand
    • 3 Mommsen (Str. 2.201, note 4) holds that Alflus was not a Praetor, since his title is merely Quaesitor, but Greenidge (Legal Procedure in Cicero's Day, 430) holds that he was. The latter seems the more probable conclusion, since he was empowered to issue edicts (Cic. QF 3.1.24), and he had previously competed for the praetorship of 56 (Cic. Sest. 113-114; Vat. 38; Schol. Bob. 135, 151 Stangl). (Broughton MRR II)
    • Presided over the trial of Gabinius for maiestas (Cic. QF 3.1.24, and 3.3; cf. 3.4.1-2; Att. 4.18.1-3), and over that of Plancius for violation of the law of Crassus de sodaliciis (Cic. Planc. 43 and 104). (Broughton MRR II)
