Career

  • Aedilis Curulis? 56 (Broughton MRR II) Expand
    • 1 Note the monogram MAR in ligature inscribed on the statue of the "Hellenistic Ruler." P. Williams suggests that it is a mark from the aedileship of C. Claudius Marcellus (AJA 49 [1945] 344f.; cf. Rhys Carpenter, ibid. 357). (Broughton MRR II)
    • A candidate for the aedileship of 56 (Cic. Ait. 4.3.5). Münzer (RE no. 216; Hermes 40 [1905] 97) is inclined to identify this Marcellus with C. Marcellus, Cos. 50. (Broughton MRR II)
    • Cos. 50. Besides Münzer (see MRR 2.208), Shackleton Bailey would identify the candidate for the aedileship of 56 with the future consul of 50 (CLA 2.178). (Broughton MRR III)

Paullus, who had received financial aid from Caesar in restoring the Basilica Aemilia (Cic. Att. 4.17.7; cf. Cael. in Cic. Fam. 8.4.4), tended to support Caesar and check his colleague, who remained an obdurate opponent (Cic. Att. 6.3.4; Hirtius in Caes. BG 8.53, and 55; Suet. Iul. 29; Plut. Pomp. 58.1-59. 1; Caes. 29.3-4; Ant. 5.2; App. BC 2.25-3 1; Dio 40.59.4, and 63.2, and 64-66). (Broughton MRR II)
