Career

  • Quaestor 509 (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • Since Minucius appears to be a name imported from the consular lists for 497 and 491 and used both here and in the legend of Horatius Cocles (cf. Dio fr. 24.5), it is probable that the P. Veturius of Plutarch's text should be identified with the C. Veturius (Liv. 2.19.1; L. in Cassiod.) who was Consul in 499. (Broughton MRR I)
    • Named by Plutarch (Popl. 12.3; cf. Zon. 7.13) as the Quaestors designated under a Law of Valerius Poplicola. On the origin of the quaestorship, see Mommsen, Str. 2.573ff.; Latte, TAPhA 67 (1936) 24-33. On Veturius, see Lübker no. 3. (Broughton MRR I)
    • Cos. 499. The praenomen is more probably P., since it is clearly attributed to the quaestor of 509 (MRR 1.3). See also Ogilvie, Comm. Liv. 284. (Broughton MRR III)
  • Consul 499 (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • In Dion. Hal. the names of the Consuls appear as {Gr}. In Livy the praenomen of Veturius is C., in Cassiod. L., while the Quaestor of 509, who is probably named from the Consul, bears the praenomen P. (Broughton MRR I)
    • Liv. 2.19.1; Dion. Hal. 5.58.1-4; 6.69.4; Chr. 354 (Helva et Cicurino); Fast. Hyd. (Helva et Gemino), so also Chr. Pasc.; Cassiod. (T. Aebutius et L. Vetusius); see Degrassi 88, 352f. On Veturius, see Lübker, no. 3. (Broughton MRR I)
    • Cos. 499. The praenomen is more probably P., since it is clearly attributed to the quaestor of 509 (MRR 1.3). See also Ogilvie, Comm. Liv. 284. (Broughton MRR III)
  • Tribunus Militum? 486 (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • A curious and broken notice in Festus (180 L) mentions a wide stone paving and the burning near the Circus of a number of persons, whose names, partially preserved, for the most part agree with names in the consular Fasti. Val. Max. (6.3.2) mentions a P. Mucius, Tr. Pl., who burned his nine colleagues for conspiring with Sp. Cassius (cf. Dio fr. 22; Zon. 7.17), but no authority places the number of Tribunes of the Plebs at ten so early. As the names are almost all patrician and consular, it remains uncertain to what incident or what losses in the Volscian Wars the passage of Festus refers. (Broughton MRR I)
    • Festus 180 L. (Broughton MRR I)
