    • Coins of Crete and Cyrene, inscribed CRAS and KPA, referred by Robinson to Canidius Crassus (B.M.Cat., Cyrenaica ccvi, ccxiif., and 113f.; see 36-32, Promagistrates), are assigned by Grant to the future Consul of 30 (From Imperium to Auctoritas 55-58; cf. Dio 51.4.3; PIR 2.275, no. 126). (Broughton MRR II)

  • Augur? 31 (Broughton MRR II) 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 vacancies caused by the civil wars and the proscriptions were promptly filled with partisans of Antony and Octavian or persons who were restored in 39 by the Treaty of Misenum, for in 36 Messalla Corvinus was added to the college as a supernumerary member. See Dio 48.36.4; 49.16.1; cf. 48.43.2. (Broughton MRR II)
    • Ann. Epig. 1948, no. 90; see Degrassi in BCAR 71 (1945) 65. (Broughton MRR II)
    • Cos. 30. He had served under Sextus Pompey and had probably been restored after the pact of Misenum (cf. Vell. 2.77.3; App. BC 5.72; Dio 48.36.4). (TJC) Augur. See MRR 2.426. Positive identification of M. Licinius Crassus Frugi (59). Cos. 14, in an inscription of Lepcis Magna, as an augur, lessens the probability that the notice of an augurate quoted at MRR 2.426 is correctly referred to his father, the consul of 30 (see Goodchild, PBSR 18, 1950, 72-77; J. M. Reynolds and J. B. Ward Perkins, The Inscriptions of Roman Tripolitania 97, no. 319).[118x] (Broughton MRR III)
