Career

  • Officer (Title Not Preserved)? 50 (Broughton MRR III) Expand
    • Cos. 38. Perhaps the Appius (title not attested) in command of the legions that Pompey withdrew from Caesar in 50 (Plut. Pomp. 57.4; cf. Cic. Att. 7.15.3, and 20.1, text uncertain, Shackleton Bailey ad loc.). Münzer suggests Appius Maior (298), son of C. Claudius Pulcher (303). It is not clear what his position was with M. Antonius in 43 (Cic. Fam. 11.27). (TJC) Perhaps also the Appius whose name is only partially transmitted in the SC de Aphrodisiensibus in 39 in the second, and therefore a praetorian, place in the commission (J. M. Reynolds, Aphrodisias and Rome 68, on document no. 8). (Broughton MRR III)

  • Epulo? 39 to after 31 (Rüpke 2005) Expand
    • CIL 10.1423, cf. ILS 890. Probably entered the college some years before 31. See PIR² 2.237, no. 982; De Laet no. 455. (Broughton MRR II)
  • Consul 38 (Broughton MRR II) Expand
    • Fast. Mag. Vic., Degrassi 282f., 287; Fast. Biond., ibid. 291f.; and see 135, 506f.; Dio 48, Index, and 43. 1; 49.23. 1; Chr. 354; Fast. Hyd.; Chr. Pasc.; Cassiod.; Zonar. 10.23; on Claudius, CIL 10.1423, 1424–ILS 890; and on Norbanus, Forlati, Epigraphica 3 (1941) 272. They were the first Consuls to have two Quaestors each (Dio 48.43.1). On Claudius, see PIR² 2.237f., no. 982; on Norbanus, De Laet no. 264. (Broughton MRR II)
  • Promagistrate? 36 Campania (Broughton MRR II) Expand
    • No title preserved. Commanded a considerable number of ships, the group which formed the rear-guard of Octavian's fleet as it advanced from Puteoli in July (App. BC 5.98), and suffered some losses in a storm. See PIR² 2.237, no. 982. (Broughton MRR II)
  • Promagistrate 34 Hispania (Broughton MRR II) Expand
    • Succeeded L. Marcius Philippus in Spain, almost certainly as Proconsul (see 33, Promagistrates). See PIR² 2.237, no. 982. (Broughton MRR II)
  • Promagistrate 33 Hispania (Broughton MRR II) Expand
    • Proconsul in Spain (see 34, and 32, Promagistrates). See PIR² 2.237, no. 982. (Broughton MRR II)
  • Triumphator 33 (Rich 2014) Expand
    • Triumph ex Hispania. MRR II.419, Itgenshorst no. 285, Rich no. 286. (Rich 2014)
  • Promagistrate 32 Hispania (Broughton MRR II) Expand
    • Proconsul in Spain, he celebrated a triumph ex Hispania on June 1 (Fast. Barb., Degrassi 342f., 570; cf. for the title Imperator, CIL 10.1423, 1424-ILS 890). Degrassi (570), perhaps rightly, dates the triumphs of Claudius and Cornificius in 33, in spite of the very short interval after that of Marcius Philippus, since otherwise Cornificius would have celebrated his during the war with Antony. This is the latest date possible and the one favored by Mommsen (CIL 12. 1, p. 77). See PIR 2.237, no. 982. (Broughton MRR II)
