SCAN0811 C. Scantinius (3) Capitolinus

Career

  • Aedilis Plebis? 226 (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • Valerius Maximus calls Scantinius a Tribune of the Plebs, but Plutarch a fellow magistrate of Marcellus, who accused him of improper proposals to his son. In defence, Scantinius appealed to his personal inviolability, which indicates that he was a plebeian official, and was refused aid by all the college of Tribunes, which indicates that he was an Aedile rather than a Tribune (see Mommsen, Str. 1.289, note 2, and 706, note 4; 2.472, note 2, and 493, note 4; and on the accountability of the Aediles, Gell. 13.13). For the date, see on Marcellus above; and Seidel, Fast. Aed. 20. (Broughton MRR I)
