Career

  • Praefectus Aerario before 44 (Broughton MRR III) Expand
    • Pr. ? 44. Delete the query, since he shared in the allotments made in the Senate meeting of November 28 (MRR 2.321). Two Cusinii are named in ILS 965, a father who was not a senator, and M. Cusinius M. f. Vel., Aed. pl., Aerario praef., Pr. The latter should be identified with the praetor of 44, and both the quaestorship, if he held it, and the aedileship will have preceded it. The post of aerario praefectus must precede 28 (Dio 53.2.1), but if the offices are in chronological order the post is anomalous and suggests that he may have been one of the prefects of the city (#, Dio 43.48), two of whom were in charge of finances (#), whom Caesar left in charge in 45 (MRR 2.313), or else, as Badian suggests, he was placed in charge of the treasury as aedile of the plebs (Gnomon 33, 1961, 496). See the notes on L. Cestius (4) and C. Norbanus (9a). (RS, CP; TJC; LRT; and now see Wiseman, NM 228, no. 150). (Broughton MRR III)
