Career

  • Praefectus 214 (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • In Liv. 24.20.13 M. Livius is an emendation of 'ibis' in P and 'is' and 'his' in other Mss. Despite the discrepancies in the praenomen found in the sources, the circumstances support the identification of this appointee of Valerius Laevinus with the M. Livius Macatus of 27.34.7 (on the name, cf. Cic. De Or. 2.273; Sen. 11). Livius later became Prefect of the Roman garrison at Tarentum (Liv. 26.39; cf. 25.8.10, 9.6, and 10.3; Frontin. Str. 3.17.3, cf. 3.6; App. Hann. 32). (Broughton MRR I)
    • Sent by Laevinus to Tarentum to prevent its betrayal to Hannibal (Liv. 24.20.12-13; cf. Polyb. 8.26-36). See 213-209, Prefects. (Broughton MRR I)
  • Praefectus 213 (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • Probably continued in charge of the Roman garrison at Tarentum (see 214, note 7). (Broughton MRR I)
  • Praefectus 212 (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • In command of the Roman garrison at Tarentum, where he kept the citadel though he lost the town (Polyb. 8.24-36, C. Livius; Liv. 25.7-11; Frontin. Str. 3.3.16, cf. 17.3; App. Hann. 32-33; cf. Cic. De Or. 2.273; Sen. 11; Plut. Fab. 23.3; Apophth. Fab. 6). See 214, note 7. (Broughton MRR I)
  • Praefectus 211 (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • Continued in command of the citadel of Tarentum until the town was recaptured in 209 (see 212 and 209, Prefects). (Broughton MRR I)
