The following men held provincial governorships immediately after the passage in 52 of the Pompeian law which established an interval between the praetorship or consulship and a provincial command, and may therefore have held the praetorship before 57 (all the Praetors of 57 are known). It is however more probable that the law did not apply to magistrates in office in 53 and 52 (see 54, Praetors), hence these dates remain only as possibilities. (Broughton MRR II)
