Career

• Praefectus Classis 49 (Broughton MRR II) Expand
  • Held command, along with Laelius (see above) of the Pompeian ships from Asia (Caes. BC 3.5.3). (Broughton MRR II)
  • Quaestor urbanus 81. Shackleton Bailey points out (Studies 71-72) that in Cic. Verr. 2.1.37 the manuscript tradition is strongly in favor of the praenomen C. (not L. as in MRR 2.77). This makes it possible to identify him with the Valerius Triarius who opposed Lepidus in Sardinia in 77 (MRR 2.91), preferably as a legatus pro praetore, if A. J. Marshall is right in holding that provincial governors after Sulla, whether praetorii or consulares, regularly held an imperium pro consule (ANRW 1.1, 1972, 903). According to Asconius (19C), he was later a leg., lieut. under Lucullus in the East from 73 to 67 (MRR 2.113, 120, 125, 130, 134, 141, 148). P. A. Brunt (Manpower 454-455) suggests that Triarius first was legate under M. Cotta in 74 in command of three legions which he brought to Lucullus. The entries in the Index may run as follows: C. Valerius Triarius (363, 366), Q. urb. 81, Leg. pro pr. Sardinia 77, Leg., lieut. under Lucullus 73-67. C. Valerius Triarius (365), Praef. class. under Pompey 49-48. (Broughton MRR III)
