Career

  • Legatus (Lieutenant)? 214 Campania (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • Münzer (RE s. v. "Claudius," no. 220) questions the reliability of the episode, for it may be a doublet of the story of the victory of Marcellus over Hannibal in 216 (see above), when Nero may have played a similar part (Sil. It. 12.173). Moreover, Livy is the only source, and Marcellus, with Nola already freed from siege, was already encamped above Suessula (Egelhaaf, HZ 53 [1885] 464-469; CAH 8.76). (Broughton MRR I)
    • Served under Marcellus at Nola in command of the cavalry (Liv. 24. 17.3-7). (Broughton MRR I)
  • Praetor 212 Suessula, Campania (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • Summoned from Suessula, he shared in the siege of Capua (Liv. 25.22.7-13).{268} (Broughton MRR I)

  • Propraetor 211 Capua (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • Took part as Propraetor in the campaign for Capua (Liv. 26.5.7-6.8), after the fall of which he was sent to Spain (Liv. 26.17.1-3; App. Ib. 17; see below, on the Scipios, and 210, Promagistrates). (Broughton MRR I)
    • Cos. 207. See MRR 1.274, 280, 284, note 4. It is almost a certainty that both Nero and his successor M. Iunius Silanus were sent to Spain (Nero in 211-210) with imperium pro consule. See Jashemski, Proconsular and Propraetorian Imperium 25f.; Sumner, Arethusa 3, 1970, 88, and 99, notes 37-40. (Broughton MRR III)
  • Propraetor 210 Hispania (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • Continued in command in Spain until the arrival of the young Scipio and Silanus in the autumn (Liv. 26.20.4). On his encounter with Hasdrubal (26.17), see De Sanctis 3.2.451, note 15; on the chronology, see Liv. 27.7.5-6; De Sanctis 3.2.454, note 18, and 468, note 38. (Broughton MRR I)

  • Consul 207 (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • Liv. 27.34, and 36.10; 28.10.1; 31.12.8; Fast. Cap., Degrassi 46f., 120, 450f.; Val. Max. 7.2.6; Auct. Vir. Ill. 50.2; Zon. 9.9; and on Livius, Liv. 36.36.6. After being reconciled and making military and religious preparations (Liv. 27.35.6-9, and 36-38; Val. Max. 4.1.2; 7.2.6; 9.3.1), the Consuls went to their armies, Claudius to contain Hannibal in Bruttium and Apulia (Liv. 27.35.10-12, 40.1, and 41-42; Zon. 9.9), and Livius to Gaul against Hasdrubal (Liv. 27.35.10, and 38.7). Claudius, gaining possession of Hasdrubal's messages to Hannibal, joined Livius at Sena, where the two Consuls destroyed Hasdrubal and his army in the battle of the Metaurus (Polyb. 11.1-3; Liv. 27.43-51; Cic. Brut. 73; Hor. Carm. 4.4.36-71; Val. Max. 3.7.4; 7.4.4; Frontin. Str. 1.1.9, and 2.9; 2.3.8, and 9.2; 4.7.15; Sil. It. 15.544-823; Suet. Tib. 2.1, on Nero; Flor. 1.22.50-54; App. Hann. 52-54; Ampel. 18.12; 36.3; 46.6; Eutrop. 3.18; Auct. Vir. Ill. 48.2-4; Oros. 4.18.9-16; Zon. 9.9; cf. Porphyr. on Hor.

Livius celebrated a triumph while Nero was feted with him in an ovatio (Liv. 28.9.2-18; Val. Max. 4.1.9; Auct. Vir. Ill. 48.5; 50.2; cf. on Livius, Enn. Ann. 302 V; Suet. Tib. 3.1; see Degrassi 551). Livius was named Dictator to hold elections by his colleague (Liv. 28.10.1), and went to investigate defections in Etruria and Umbria (Liv. 28.10.4-5). (Broughton MRR I)
  • Censor 204 (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • Liv. 29.37.1; 36.36.4 and 6; 39.3.5; Fast. Cap., Degrassi 46f., 120, 450f.; Suet. Tib. 1.2. They removed seven from the Senate, let building contracts, established a new salt tax, included soldiers everywhere in the census as well as members of the twelve colonies, but in their review of the knights and the listing of the tribes attacked each other (Liv. 29.37; Val. Max. 2.9.6; 7.2.6; Dio fr. 57.70-71; Auct. Vir. Ill. 50.3). They reappointed Q. Fabius Maximus Princeps Senatus (Liv. 29.37.1; cf. Elog. CIL 1 .1, p. 193- Inscr. Ital. 13.3.14 and 80). See 203, Tribunes of the Plebs. (Broughton MRR I)
  • Legatus (Ambassador) 201 Achaea (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • This embassy was appointed late in the consular year 201, as the annalistic source in Livy states, and is found active in Greece by the spring of the Julian year 200 (Holleaux, CAH 8.161; REA 25 [1923] 355f.; on the state of the Roman calendar, see De Sanctis 4.1.368ff.). They appeared in Athens in the spring of 200. Whatever may have been said about Egypt, their chief{323} mission lay in Greece, Rhodes, and Pergamum (see Walbank and McDonald, J RS 27 [1937] 189ff., and the studies discussed there; Walbank, Philip V of Macedon 313ff.). The connections between Aemilius Lepidus and the Ptolemies may have developed later (see Otto, Zur Gesch. d. Zeit d. 6. Ptolemäers, 27ff.; cf. Cichorius, RS 22f.). (Broughton MRR I)
    • This embassy, sent ostensibly to Egypt, was appointed after Attalus of Pergamum and Rhodes had appealed to Rome regarding Philip's aggressions, and before the Consuls of 201 had returned from their provinces (Liv. 31.2.1-4, and 18.1; Polyb. 16.27, and 34.1-7; cf. Val. Max. 6.6.1; Tac. Ann. 2.67; App. Mac. 4; Iustin. 30.3-4; 31.1-2; and on the coins referring to Lepidus as tutor regis, Grueber, CRRBM 1.449; Cesano, Stud. Num. 1.173f.). See 200, Legates. (Broughton MRR I)
  • Legatus (Ambassador) 200 Achaea, Rhodes, Aegyptus (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • This embassy went to various points in Greece, including Athens, then to Rhodes, and finally to Egypt (Polyb. 16.25-27; Liv. 31.18.1; App. Mac. 4). Aemilius bore Rome's ultimatum to Philip at Abydos (Polyb. 16.34.1-7; Liv. 31.18.1-7; Diod. 28.6; Iustin. 31.3.3-4). (Broughton MRR I)
  • Legatus (Ambassador) 200 Achaea, Rhodes, Aegyptus (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • This embassy went to various points in Greece, including Athens, then to Rhodes, and finally to Egypt (Polyb. 16.25-27; Liv. 31.18.1; App. Mac. 4). Aemilius bore Rome's ultimatum to Philip at Abydos (Polyb. 16.34.1-7; Liv. 31.18.1-7; Diod. 28.6; Iustin. 31.3.3-4). (Broughton MRR I)
  • Legatus (Ambassador) 199 Aegyptus, Syria (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • See 201 and 200. They probably went on to Syria and Egypt to complete their mission by late 200 or early 199 (Iustin. 30.3.3-4; cf. Polyb. 16.27.5, and 34.2; Liv. 31.18.1, cf. 2..3-4; 33.19.8; cf. Holleaux, REA 15 [1913] 4, notes 1 and 2). (Broughton MRR I)
