Career

  • Praetor before 53 (Broughton MRR II) Expand
    • 2 On Aelius Tubero, Cotta (perhaps but not certainly referred to in QF 3.8.6, where Ms reading Gutta is emended to Cotta, as a possible candidate for the consulship of 52), and Postumius, see Hölzl 66f., Stella Maranca 332; and Wehrmarm 68, on Domitius, 71, on Cotta and Tubero, and 72, on Fannius. Nonius Sufenas, Fannius, Voconius, and Sestius are named in Cic. Att. 8.15.3, all with imperium in March of 49, and Postumius was in February directed to succeed Furfanius in Sicily (Att. 7.15.2). On Postumius, who was temporarily prominent between 51 and 49, see Sall. Ad Caes. 2.9.4, now dated with probability by Carlson to 51 B. C. (Eine Denkschrift an Caesar 4ber den Staat [Lund, 1936] 12-26). (Broughton MRR II)
    • See Cic. Sest. 113-114; Vat. 38; Schol. Bob. 135 Stangl. (Broughton MRR II)
    • The appearance of the members of this group as Promagistrates in various provinces and commands in 49 after the passage of Pompey's law making mandatory an interval of five years between the city magistracy and the provincial command, suggests that they had held the praetorship by or before 54 B. C. Fannius at least had good prospects of attaining the praetorship when he was referred to in 56 (see above). It is not clear how far the emergency caused exemptions from the law in 49, nor does it appear to have applied to the magistrates in office in 52. (Broughton MRR II)
  • Quaesitor? 52 (Broughton MRR III) Expand
    • Presided over the trial of Saufeius under the Lex Plautia de vi (Ascon. 55 C). (Broughton MRR II)
    • See MRR 2.237, Quaesitores, and 240, note 3. According to Mommsen (StR 2?.584) the presiding officer of a quaestio de vi was never a magistrate in office (see also J. Linderski, HSPh 76, 1972, 195-198, note 59). Considius, the quaesitor in 52, may be either M. Considius Longus (11), procos. in Africa 51-50, or M. Considius Nonianus, who was allotted the succession to Caesar in Cisalpine Gaul in 49 (MRR 2.242, 250, 261). (Broughton MRR III)
  • Propraetor 49 Gallia Cisalpina (Broughton MRR II) Expand
    • Propraetor (Cic. Att. 8.11B.2). Allotted Cisalpine Gaul in succession to Caesar (Cic. Fam. 16.12.3). (Broughton MRR II)
