Quaestor 49 Italia, Africa (Broughton MRR II) Expand
- With Domitius Ahenobarbus at Corfinium, and later with Attius Varus in Africa (Caes. BC 1.23.2; 2.28; see Promagistrates, on Attius Varus). (Broughton MRR II)
- Officer under Cassius at Rhodes in 42, perhaps a praetor of uncertain date (MRR 2.465). The praenomen L. does appear in the record of the gens Quinctilia. The officer whom Cassius left at Rhodes (2.368) should be listed as L. Varus (Syme, Historia 5, 1956, 208-RP 1.319). The man who died at Philippi in the insignia of office (Vell. 2.71.2) was a Quinctilius Varus, and may be identified with Sex. Quinctilius Varus (17). Quaestor 49 (MRR 2.259). It is uncertain if he attained the praetorship, but at least the plural is used of his honores by 42 (Vell. 2.71.2). (RS, CP) (Broughton MRR III)
Praetor? before 42 (Broughton MRR III) Expand
- Quaestor in 49 (MRR 2.259). Add that he held other honores, perhaps the praetorship, between 49 and 42. See above, on L. Q(uinctilius?) Varus (8). (Broughton MRR III)
Officer (Title Not Preserved)? 43 to 42 (DPRR Team) Expand
- Vell. 2.71.2. Fought at Philippi and committed suicide after the defeat. Presumably an officer (DPRR Team)
