  • Praefectus Agris Dandis Assignandis 45 (Broughton MRR II) Expand
    • The term Praef (ectus) on his coins, once interpreted as Praefectus Urbi (Grueber, CRRBM 1.539; see PIRĀ² 2.286, nos. 1203, 1204) means rather that he was one of the many officers engaged under Caesar in assigning lands to his veterans (note Cic. Fam. 13.7, negotium datum esse a Caesare, non iudicium; and Grant, From Imperium to Auctoritas 7-11, who places him conjecturally in Cisalpine Gaul. at Mediolanum). See above, Legates, on Q. Valerius Orca, and below, on M. Rutilius; 46, Legates, on Ti. Claudius Nero; and 44, Legates, on L. Plotius Plancus. (Broughton MRR II)
    • Prefect. In MRR 2.313, and Index, 549, refer also to Crawford, RRC 1.486, no. 476, 45 B.C. Praetor, uncertain date. A certain C. Cluvius, who had been elected consul, but had been unable to assume office, was advanced to consular rank by Augustus in 29 (Dio 52.42.4). Despite the irregularities of the period he had probably held the lower offices. (TJC) Identification is uncertain since two Cluvii are known in this period (PIR(2) 2.286f., nos. 1213, 1214).
