  • Magister Equitum? 324 (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • See 325 on both offices. This is a "Dictator" year. Livy and Diod. mark no break in the series of regular magistrates, but in the sources{149} dependent on Fast. Cap. (Degrassi 414f.) the following notices appear: Chr. 354, Hoc anno dictatores; non fuerunt (consules ?); Fast. Hyd., His conss. tum Dictator creatus Papinius (sic) Cursor et Magister Equitum Drusus; Chr. Pasc., {Gr}. Furthermore Papirius' triumph in Act. Tr. is dated to this and not to the preceding year. Drusus is not mentioned elsewhere as Mag. Eq., but Münzer (RE s. v. "Livius," no. 12) relates him to the progenitor of the Livii Drusi mentioned in Suet. Tib. 3.2. On the "Dictator years," see Degrassi 110 on 309. On Papirius, see Lübker, no. 9. (Broughton MRR I)
