7 One of these men referred to as Mamercus may possibly be identified with Mam. Aemilius Lepidus Livianus, Cos. 77. The most important evidence against a date in the spring of 74 is found in Velleius (2.33. l): cum esset in fine bellum piraticum et L. Lucullus, qui ante septem annos ex consulatu sortitus Asiam Mithridati oppositus erat ..., who goes on to mention the introduction of the Manilian law. The collocation of the phrase ex consulatu with a date seven years before the passage of the Manilian law in early 66 points to 73. Yet it is not irrelevant to point out that the war with the pirates was actually in fine if not confeclum by midsummer of 67 (Cic. Leg. Man. 35, media aestate confecit), and the phrase sortitus Asiam appears to be inaccurate since his province by sortition had been Cisalpine Gaul. And he was appointed to Cilicia before he received the governorship of Asia. (Broughton MRR II)
