Career

  • Interrex 352 (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • The twelfth of a series (Liv. 7.21.2-4). (Broughton MRR I)
  • Consul 350 (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • On the name of Popilius, see Act. Tr. on 350. Scipio has the praenomen {Gr} in Diod. (Broughton MRR I)
    • Liv. 7.23.1; Diod. 16.56.1; Act. Tr.; Chr. 354 (Lenas III et Scipione); Fast. Hyd. (Scipione et Lenate II); Chr. Pasc. ({Gr}); Cassiod.; Degrassi 34f., 106, 406f. Scipio was kept from command by illness, while Popillius celebrated a triumph for a success over the Gauls (Liv. 7.23-24, and 25.1; and 25.1; Act. Tr., Degrassi 68f., 540; App. Celt. 2). On Popillius, see Lübker no. 4. (Broughton MRR I)
  • Censor 340 (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • This censorship is doubtful (see RE on no. 322), since Velleius may possibly be thinking simply of brothers who were colleagues in the same office and not specifically of the censorship. If a censorship is meant it must date before 339 when a Publilian law made it necessary to elect a plebeian to at least one place. See 339, Dictator. (Broughton MRR I)
    • Vell. 2.8.2; cf. Jerome Chr. ad ann. 340, p. 122 Helm; Degrassi 107, 408f. (Broughton MRR I)
