Career

  • Tribunus Plebis 56 (Broughton MRR II) Expand
    • Attempted to prosecute Caesar for his actions while Consul (Suet. Iul. 23), but was restrained by his colleagues. (Broughton MRR II)
    • 2 It is extremely improbable that the Quaestor of 61 and Tribune of 56 should be identified with the Consul Suffectus of 30 (see PIR² 1.147), since Caesar made (#) the latter Quaestor (Plut. Caes. 5.3), a process hardly within his power in 61. (Broughton MRR II)
    • Tr. pl. 58; Antistius Vetus (47). Tr. pl. 56. The entry in MRR 2.195, 58 B.C., should be deleted and this tribune identified with Antistius Vetus (47). Tr. pl. 56 (MRR 2.209), as the one who attempted to prosecute Caesar then (Badian, CQ 19, 1969, 200-204; Salmon Studies 145-166; Shackleton Bailey, Studies 11- 13). Caesar, who was quaestor under an Antistius Vetus (46) in Hisp. Ult. in 69 (see MRR 2.132, 133), is reported to have made a son of this Antistius his quaestor in turn when he was in power (#, Plut. Caes. 5.3). This was not, as is often assumed, when he was proconsul in Hisp. Ult. himself in 61, but most probably when in 45 he appointed C. Antistius Vetus (47) to be quaestor pro praetore in Syria (MRR 2.308). This Antistius became consul suffectus in 30. See Shackleton Bailey, loc. cit. (Broughton MRR III)
    • p. 257-63 (Thommen 1989)
  • Quaestor 45 Syria (Broughton MRR II) Expand
    • Probably a Quaestor pro praetore by appointment from Caesar in Syria (Dio 47.27.2-4; cf. Plut. Caes. 5.3; Vell. 2.43.4, and 52.3), and besieged Caecilius Bassus there until the Parthians came to his relief (Cic. Att. 14.9.3; Dio 47.27.2-4). He probably received salutation as Imperator (Brutus in Cic. Ad Brut. 1.11.2). See 44, Promagistrates; PIR² 1.146, no. 770; Sternkopf, Hermes 47 (1912) 331f. (Broughton MRR II)
    • Tr. pl. 58; Antistius Vetus (47). Tr. pl. 56. The entry in MRR 2.195, 58 B.C., should be deleted and this tribune identified with Antistius Vetus (47). Tr. pl. 56 (MRR 2.209), as the one who attempted to prosecute Caesar then (Badian, CQ 19, 1969, 200-204; Salmon Studies 145-166; Shackleton Bailey, Studies 11- 13). Caesar, who was quaestor under an Antistius Vetus (46) in Hisp. Ult. in 69 (see MRR 2.132, 133), is reported to have made a son of this Antistius his quaestor in turn when he was in power (#, Plut.

    • See above, on L. Antistius (13). Shackleton Bailey has shown (Studies 11-13) that the supposed quaestor of 61 never existed (cf MRR 2.214, note 2). To the references given on L. Antistius (13) and Antistius Vetus (47), above, add E. S. Gruen, Athenaeum 49, 1971, 62-67, and LGRR 292. The tribune of the plebs of 56, L. Antistius Vetus, must be clearly distinguished from this C. Antistius Vetus (47), quaestor pro praetore in Syria in 45-44, legatus of Brutus in 43 (MRR 2.352), commander against the Salassi in 35-34 (MRR 2.407), and Cos. Suff. In 30 (Degrassi, Fast. Cons. 171, 254, 283; see PIR(2) 1.146, no. 770). (Broughton MRR III)
  • Quaestor Pro Praetore 44 Syria (Broughton MRR II) Expand
    • Quaestor pro praetore in Syria (see 45, Promagistrates). He returned from Syria when succeeded by Staius Murcus (see below) and on his way, probably late in 44, handed over to Brutus the tribute he was bringing with him, and entered his service (Brutus in Cic. Ad Brut. 1. 11. 1-2; 2.3.5; Plut. Brut. 25. 1, for Appuleius; cf. Vell. 2.62.3). See PIR2 1.146, no. 770. (Broughton MRR II)

Cons. 171, 254, 283; see PIR(2) 1.146, no. 770). (Broughton MRR III)
  • Quaestor Pro Praetore 43 Syria (Broughton MRR II) Expand
    • See 44, Promagistrates. He remained for some time with Brutus, who wished him to remain in service with him, and called him Imperator (Cic. Ad Brut. 1. 11.2). See below, Legates; and PIR² 1.146, no. 770. (Broughton MRR II)
  • Legatus (Lieutenant) 43 Macedonia (Broughton MRR II) Expand
    • He returned to Rome from Brutus in Macedonia (see above, Promagistrates) in June, but soon went back to Brutus as a Legate (Cic. Ad Brut. 1.11.2, and 12.1). See PIR² 1.146, no. 770. (Broughton MRR II)
    • See above, on L. Antistius (13). Shackleton Bailey has shown (Studies 11-13) that the supposed quaestor of 61 never existed (cf MRR 2.214, note 2). To the references given on L.

  • Promagistrate 35 Gallia Cisalpina (Broughton MRR II) Expand
    • No title preserved. As a commander under Octavian he warred with the Salassi in 35 and 34 (App. Illyr. 17, based on Augustus' Memoirs; cf. Strabo 4.6.7; Dio 49.38.3). Perhaps, as Ganter holds (12, 69-71), he was governor of Transalpine Gaul. since he attacked them by way of the passes (App.). See PIR² 1.146, no. 770; Do Lact no. 31. (Broughton MRR II)

  • Promagistrate 34 Gallia Cisalpina (Broughton MRR II) Expand
    • Perhaps governor of Gaul. His campaigns against the Salassi continued through this year (App. Illyr. 17; cf. Dio 49.38.3, who erroneously names Messalla; see 35, Promagistrates). See PIR² 1.146, no. 770; De Laet no. 31. (Broughton MRR II)
