Career

  • Repulsa (Aed.) 60 (Pina Polo 2012) Expand
    • pp. 65-72 (Pina Polo 2012)
  • Quaestor before 58 (Broughton MRR II) Expand
    • Quaestor before 59 (Plut. Cat. Min. 32; Dio 38.7). (Broughton MRR II)
    • Praetor 49. Legatus in Sicily, probably after being quaestor (by 59, MRR 2.190, but see above, on Q. Caecilius Metellus Scipio [99]) (ILS 879-ILLRP 398). See Syme, MH 15, 1958, 53; Wiseman, NM 231, no. 173. The date of his aedileship (MRR 2.235, 240, note 2) may be either 53 or 52. Dio (40.45.1) reports that F., while aedile, was put in prison by the tribune Q. Pompeius Rufus (41), who entered office on December 10, 53, and so could have attacked F. in either year. Plutarch (Cat. Min. 46) places his aedileship after the anarchy of late 54 and the first half of 53 but before the violence in late 53 and early 52 caused by the consular candidates for 52. Amyot's emendation of # in Plut. Cat. Min. to # has made a colleague out of Curio, who was preparing sumptuous funeral games in honor of his father, but Curio was then, or at least until late in 53, if not into 52, absent in Asia as proquaestor with C. Claudius Pulcher (MRR 2.224, 230), and after his return was planning to be a candidate for the plebeian aedileship of 50 (Cic. Fam. 8.9.3; 8.8.10). See above, on M. Aufidius Lurco (25, cf. 27). Curio had not returned when Cicero was elected an augur, but precise information on Favonius remains lacking. See J. Linderski, HSPh 76, 1972, 181-200.[90x] (Broughton MRR III)

  • Aedilis? 53 (Broughton MRR II) Expand
    • 2 Plutarch (Cat. Min. 46-47) appears to place Favonius' aedileship before the electoral violence of late 53 and early 52, but also associates his games with those of Curio (whom he terms a colleague), who was absent from Rome in 53 and gave his games in honor of his father in 52 (Cic. Fam. 2.3; Plin. NH 36.116-120). Curio was not then an Aedile but was preparing for his candidacy for the aedileship of 50. Dio places Favonius' aedileship during the tribunate of Pompeius Rufus, which is dated in 52 (see Tribunes of the Plebs). Favonius was an unsuccessful candidate for the praetorship of 50 (Cael. in Cic. Fam. 8.9.5). (Broughton MRR II)
