CALV2584 C. Calvisius (13) C. f. Clu.? Sabinus

Career

  • Legatus (Lieutenant) 48 Achaea (Broughton MRR II) Expand
    • He occupied Aetolia for Caesar (Caes. BC 3.34-35, and 56; cf. App. BC 2.60, who records that he was severely defeated by Metellus Scipio, but in this passage may mean Domitius Calvinus). (Broughton MRR II)
  • Promagistrate 45 Africa Vetus (Broughton MRR II) Expand
    • Governor (title not preserved) of Africa Vetus, and predecessor of Q. Cornificius (Cic. Phil. 3.26; cf. on his Legates, Fam. 12.30.7). Returned to Rome before March 15, 44 (Nic. Dam. Vit. Caes. 26.2, FGrH 2A.410). See PIR² 2.83f., no. 352; Sternkopf, Hermes 47 (1912) 328, and 337f. (Broughton MRR II)
    • Cos. 39. His command in Africa Vetus in 45 (MRR 2.308) is not, as Sumner has shown, proof that he had been praetor in 46 (listed with a query, MRR 2.295). Analysis of the lists of assignments of provinces, made hastily in November 44, as given in Cicero (Phil. 3.25-27), indicates that he was a praetor in 44, and Africa was assigned to him for 43 (Sumner, Phoenix 25, 1971, 265-267; 26, 1972, 364-365). Syme (RR 221, and CPh 50, 1955, 134, after inspecting the stone) refers ILS 925 to the Cos. of 39, not to his son, Cos. 4 (PIR(2) 2.93, no. 353). Another priesthood, curio maximus, should be noted in MRR 2.427f., and the Index, 2.542, and his name should be added as both septemvir epulo and curio maximus to the lists in 31. The date when he attained them remains uncertain, for T. Statilius Taurus was also curio maximus (MRR 2.424), probably after him, and survived until after 20. See Syme in Historia 13, 1964, 113 - RP 2.591; and also for the suggestion that Calvisius Sabinus was the Sabinus ille of Catalepton 10, Latomus 17, 1958, 78-80-RP 1.391- 399.[48x] (Broughton MRR III)
  • Praetor 44 (Broughton MRR III) Expand
    • Governor of Africa Vetus, perhaps into 44 (see 45, Promagistrates; Cic. Phil. 3.26), but was in Rome on March 15 and defended Caesar against his murderers (Nic. Dam. Vit. Caes. 26.2, FGrH 2A.410). Antony had Africa reassigned to him in the Senate meeting on November 28 but Cornificius remained in possession of the province (Cic. Fam. 12.25; Phil. 3.26; see below, on Cornificius). See PIR² 2.83f., no. 352. (Broughton MRR II)
    • Cos. 39. His command in Africa Vetus in 45 (MRR 2.308) is not, as Sumner has shown, proof that he had been praetor in 46 (listed with a query, MRR 2.295).

Marcius celebrated a triumph from Macedonia on the first day of his consulship (Act. Tr., Degrassi 86f., 568; and Fast. Barb., ibid. 342f.). On Marcius, see PIR 2.337, no. 164; De Laet no. 239; on Calvisius, PIR² 2.83, no. 352; De Laet no. 87. (Broughton MRR II)

  • Promagistrate 38 Etruria, Campania, Sicilia (Broughton MRR II) Expand
    • Under his command he brought a fleet from Etruria to join Octavian at the Sicilian straits, but was so delayed by an engagement near Cumae with a part of the fleet of Sextus Pompey under Menecrates that he did not arrive until the end of Octavian's naval battle at Messana (App. BC 5.80-88; Dio 48.46-47; cf. Liv. Per. 128; Oros. 6.18.21). Both fleets were lost in a storm (App. BC 5.88-92; Dio 48.48-49). See Triumviri R. P. C., on Octavian; PIR² 2.83, no. 352; De Laet no. 87. (Broughton MRR II)
  • Promagistrate 37 Campania (Broughton MRR II) Expand
    • When Menodorus deserted with six (or seven) ships and returned to Sextus Pompey, Calvisius was held responsible, and was replaced as admiral by Agrippa (App. BC 5.96, cf. 100; Dio 48. 54.7; Oros. 6.18.25, six ships; Zonar. 10.24). See 38, Promagistrates; PIR² 2.83, no. 352; De Laet no. 87. (Broughton MRR II)
  • Proconsul 36 Italia (Broughton MRR II) Expand
    • At the conclusion of the war with Sextus Pompey Octavian placed him in charge of the task of restoring public order in Italy (App. BC 5.132, no title preserved). Cf. CIL 12.2.1860-ILS 2468, Sabinus, with the title Praefectus. See PIR² 2.83, no. 352; De Laet no. 87. (Broughton MRR II)
  • Proconsul 35 Italia (Broughton MRR II) Expand
    • It is probable that he continued this year with his task of restoring public order in Italy (see 36, Promagistrates; PIR² 2.83, no. 352; Do Laet no. 87). (Broughton MRR II)
