Career

  • Quaestor? before 50 Sicilia (Broughton MRR II Appendix 2) Expand
    • CIL 1(2).2, p. 764, no. 384 h. (Broughton MRR II Appendix 2)
    • Either an officer under the triumvirs who issued coins at Lipara in 37-36 (MRR 2.406), or a quaestor in Sicily of uncertain date (MRR 2.478).[62] (Broughton MRR III)
  • Officer (Title Not Preserved)? 37 (Broughton MRR III) Expand
    • According to Pliny (NH 35.8) the true line of the Scipios became extinct during the lifetime of Messalla (268). Cos. 53, and the family was represented only by an adoptive Scipio called Pomponianus Salvitto. This Scipio should probably be identified with the unimportant Scipio whom Caesar, deriding the claims of Metellus Scipio, treated as a commander in Africa in 46 (Plut. Caes. 52.2, a member of the house of Africanus called Sallustio; Suet. Iul. 59, Salvitoni; Dio 42.58.1). He may perhaps be identified with the officer under the Triumvirs who issued coins at Lipara in 37-36 (P. Corneli, MRR 2.478, and see above), and the suffect consul of 35 (2.406), whose name is preserved only in an abbreviated form. The praenomen may be given by the filiation of the consul of 16, P. f. P. n., probably a son of the consul of 35. (TJC) See also Shackleton Bailey, Studies 114-115.[72] (Broughton MRR III)
