CANI3294 -.? Canini (1A.2 1913, 1919, Caninius 14) Sallustius

Career

  • Quaestor? 51 Syria (Broughton MRR II) Expand
    • 2 Orelli read the praenomen as Cn., Mommsen as C. (RF 2.434f.) and identified him with the historian. It is improbable that the historian, who was a strong supporter of Caesar, would have served under Bibulus, or that, being an ex-Tribune, he would have taken the title of Legatus pro qaestore. (Broughton MRR II)
    • Served as a Proquaestor in 50 under Bibulus in Syria (Cic. Fam. 2.17). In RE he is identified, probably erroneously, with Sallust the historian. (Broughton MRR II)
    • Revise the entry in MRR 2.242 to read "(1A.2 1913 and 1919; Caninius 14)." Münzer (Caninius 14) suggests the cognomen Sallustianus. As he was a proquaestor in 50 he may very well have been quaestor in 51. (TJC) See Syme, Sallust 11, note 20; Wiseman, NM 258, no. 371. (Broughton MRR III)
