    • Cos. 38. Pr. 43. A. Alföldi connects the gold coinage of L. Cestius (4) and C. Norbanus (9a), praetors in 43, with the legions, two from Africa and one raised in Italy, that were brought to defend Rome against Octavian in the summer of 43, but went on to join him (App. BC 3.92; Hermes 86, 1958, 480-496; and on Octavian, Syme, RR 181-186). For the view that the coinage may have been struck in Octavian's interest, see Crawford, RRC 1.500-501, no. 491. Proconsul in Spain, 36-34. See MRR 2.402, 408, 412. On the possibility that he was the founder of Norbensis Caesarina (Caceres), see Garcia y Bellido, BRAH 158, 1966, 179-292, reported in Aepig. 1967, no. 199; H. Galsterer, Untersuchungen zum råmischen Stadtewesen auf der Iberischen Halbinsel 23-24. (Broughton MRR III)
  • Legatus (Lieutenant) 42 Macedonia (Broughton MRR II) Expand
    • Held command along with Decidius Saxa (see above) of the advance guard of the armies of Antony and Octavian in Macedonia (Plut. Brut. 38; App. BC 4.102-104, and 107; Dio 47.35-36; Zonar. 10.19; see above, on Decidius Saxa). After the battle of Philippi Octavian placed him in charge of his camp (App. BC 4.130). (Broughton MRR II)
  • Quindecemvir Sacris Faciundis? 39 to after 31 (Rüpke 2005) Expand
    • A probable member of this college of priests about 31 B. C. In a number of instances the exact date when a priest became a member of his college is not known, and the conjecture is based on evidence of seniority such as the date of the consulship or some other office. The list of the Quindecimviri is based on Miss Hoffman's observation that the names listed in connection with the Saecular Games in 17 B. C. are arranged in the order of entrance into the college (see AJPh 73 [19521289-294). The names given below are drawn from Miss Hoffman's dissertation, The Membership of the Four Major Colleges of Priests from 44 B. C. to 37 A. D. (Bryn Mawr, 1951, available in microfilm). The order of names and the seniority of careers indicate that the following men, who belonged to the college of Quindecimviri in 17 B. C., were members in 31 (CIL 6.32323-ILS 5050). See M. Hollmann, AJPh 73 (1952) 289-294. (Broughton MRR II)
    • The order of names in the inscription cited above favors identifying the Quindecimvir with the Consul of 38 rather than his son the Consul of 24. See PIR 2.415, no. 135, cf. 416, no. 136; De Laet no. 264, cf. 265. (Broughton MRR II)
