Career

  • Officer (Title Not Preserved) 40 (Broughton MRR II) Expand
    • When his father was proscribed M. Titius raised a force of his own in Narbonese Gaul, was captured in 40 by Sextus Pompey's Lieutenant Menodorus and spared for the sake of his father, who was then a refugee with Pompey (Dio 48.30.5-6; cf. App. BC 5.142). (Broughton MRR II)
  • Quaestor 36 Asia (Broughton MRR II) Expand
    • Served under Mark Antony in the expedition against Parthia (Plut. Ant. 42.3). (Broughton MRR II)
  • Praefectus Classis 35 (Broughton MRR II) Expand
    • Proconsul, Praefectus Classis, Consul Designatus (CIL 3.7160-ILS 891; cf. the title Legatus in Liv. Per. 131). Sent by Antony as superior officer to Asia in command of a fleet to conduct Sextus Pompey to him. When Pompey surrendered he was placed in the custody of Titius who put him to death at Miletus, probably but not certainly at Antony's command (App. BC 5.134-145; Dio 49.17-18; cf. Liv. Per. 131; Strabo 3.2.2; Vell. 2.79.5- 6; Senec. Cons. ad Polyb. 15.1; Eutrop. 7.6; Auct. Vir. Ill. 84.4; Oros. 6.19.2; Zonar. 10.25; see above, on Sextus Pompey). He may have become Proconsul of Asia in succession to Furnius (see CIL 3.7160-ILS 891, from Mitylene; and IGRP 4.1716–SEG 1.383, from Samos). See PIR 3.328, no. 196; De Laet no. 379.

(Broughton MRR II)
  • Pontifex? 32 (Rüpke 2005) Expand
    • Not yet a Pontifex in 34 (CIL 3.7160-ILS 891), but probably became one soon after he left Antony for Octavian in 32 (see CIL 9.5853, undated). (Broughton MRR II)
  • Consul Suffectus 31 (Broughton MRR II) Expand
    • Held office in succession to Messalla from May 1 to October 1 (Fast. Amit., cf. Kal. Amil. on Sept. 2; Fast. Cupr., in lacuna; Fast. Ven.; Fast. Mag. Vic., Degrassi, as above on Caesar; cf. also CIL 3.4557160-ILS 891, Cos. Desig.; CIL 9.5853). Serving in Octavian's forces with Statilius Taurus, he defeated Antony's cavalry and won Deiotarus Philadelphus of Paphlagonia to Octavian's side (Plut. Ant. 63.3; Dio 50.13.5; Zonar. 10.29). See PIR 3.328, no. 196; De Laet no. 379. (Broughton MRR II)
    • Cos. suff. 31. Honored in an inscription of Samos (P. Herrmann, MDAI(A) 75, 1960, 149; Schede, MDAI(A) 44, 1919, 35-SEG 1.381). (Broughton MRR III)
  • Pontifex after 32 (Rüpke 2005) Expand
    • CIL 9.5853. The date of election is later than 34 (see ILS 891). See De Laet no. 379; PIR 3.328, no. 196. (Broughton MRR II)
    • 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).
