BARB2800 M. Barbatius (1) Pollio

Career

  • Quaestor 41 (Broughton MRR II) Expand
    • Quaestor pro praetore under Antony in the East, where he issued coins, some of them with the portrait and name of the Consul Lucius Antonius (Grueber, CRRBM 2.489-491). He returned to Italy after a dispute with Marcus Antonius, and his report of Antony's attitude still further confused Antony's officers in Italy regarding his wishes and drew support away from Lucius (App. BC 5.31; on his name, Ulpian, Dig. 1.14.3). (Broughton MRR II)
    • Quaestor 41. The cognomen used in MRR 2.372 and 462, and the Index, 537, Philippus, is mistaken. The name of the quaestor of M. Antonius in 41 can be recovered from Cic. Phil. 13.3, Barbatii Polliones (removing the comma from Clark's edition), and his praenomen from the coins (see now Crawford, RRC 1.525, no. 517, 41 B.C.). He may therefore be M. Barbatius Pollio, curule aedile of uncertain date, who is named in ILS 9261; cf. PIR(2) 1.352, no. 50. (RS, MS-RP 1.276-277; TJC) See Wiseman, NM 217, no. 64. (Broughton MRR III)
