Career

  • Monetalis 62 (RRC) Expand
    • Cos. 50. Monetalis 62. Crawford (RRC 1.441-442, nos. 415- 417, 62 B.C.) identifies the consul of 50, not his son (82), suffect consul in 34, as the monetalis of 62 who issued coins with L. Scribonius Libo in that year. The Libo who was consul in 34 (20) may be either the monetalis of 62 or his son. See also MRR 2.431, 451. Quaestor 60 or 59. Though listed as quaestor in 59 (MRR 2.190), he may possibly have gone to Macedonia with C. Octavius in 60 and continued as proquaestor there. Curule Aedile 55 or 56? His aedileship is not mentioned but it would have been strange to omit it from his cursus. Moreover, since aediles regularly undertook the restoration or maintenance of public buildings, he probably assumed as aedile the task of restoring his ancestral monument, the Basilica Aemilia (Cic. Att. 4.16.8; Muenzer, Hermes 40, 1905, 97f.). The dating of Plancius and Plotius as curule aediles to 55 excludes Paullus from this year: see MRR 2.216, 223; and, below, on Cn. Plancius (4), and A. Plautius (Plotius) (8). In fact, a date in 56, as suggested by M. I. Henderson (JRS 49, 1959, 167), would fit well with his praetorship in 53. The one surely attested curule aedile of 56 is P. Clodius Pulcher (MRR 2.208). A certain Marcellus, probably the future consul of 50 (Shackleton Bailey, CLA 2.178), was a candidate for an aedileship (Cic. Att. 4.3.5), with what success remains unknown. On his name, see Sumner, Orators 65, and Shackleton Bailey, Onom. Lepidus before Paullus is unattested. (Broughton MRR III)
