Career

  • Proconsul? 32 Syria (Broughton MRR II) Expand
    • Grant (From Imperium to Auctoritas 61-64) holds that Grueber's attribution of the coins of Q. Oppius (CRRBM 1.541) to a prefecture in Rome in 46-45 is invalid. He interprets the inscription PR as Pr(aetor) or Pr(oconsul), and assigns the coins on the basis of types to a governorship of Syria between the death of Bibulus in this year and the arrival of Didius late in 31. (Broughton MRR II)
    • Pr(ocos.?) Syria 32-31. In MRR 2.419, refer also to Sydenham, CRR lxix, 200; Crawford, RRC 1.545, no. 550, who rejects this attribution and this date, and tentatively suggests Q. Oppius (20), above. (Broughton MRR III)
