Career

  • Legatus (Lieutenant) 212 Campania (Broughton MRR III) Expand
    • Cos. 206. Probably a legate under the consul Ap. Claudius Pulcher (293) at Capua in 212 (Liv. 26.33.5-7). His curule aedileship in 210 should be queried (see MRR 1.279, 284, note 2). (Broughton MRR III)
  • Legatus (Lieutenant) 211 Campania (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • Served under Ap. Claudius at Capua (Liv. 26.33.5-7). See 210, note 2. (Broughton MRR I)
  • Aedilis Curulis? 210 (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • On Veturius' praenomen, given by the corrector A 7 and the editors Aldus and Selenius, see Conway and Walters ad loc. The two Curule Aediles of this year should be plebeians (Mommsen RF 1.101), and in support of the view that this Veturius was one, Mommsen cited the Veturius Calvinus who was Consul in 334 and 321, Ti. Veturius Sempronius Gracchus, Augur 174, and the moneyer of about a century later (RMW 555f.; Grueber, CRRBM 2.281f.). But the evidence for plebeian Veturii in this period fails if Geer is right in claiming that the Augur of 174, who actually did occupy a plebeian place in the college (see 174, note 5), was correctly named Ti. Sempronius Gracchus Veturianus (AJPh 60 [1939] 466f.). Since the evidence for plebeian Veturii is weak and the lists of Curule Aediles from 213 to 210 are incomplete Willems (1.376f.) and Münzer (APF 126-128) suggest that the list is confused, and that this is the patrician L. Veturius Philo, Leg. at Capua 212, Pr. 209, Cos. 206. According to Seidel (26, note 1) he might have held the office in 211, but the plebeian listed in 210 should not be rejected on that account. Since plebeian Veturii are known, though not with certainty in this period, Seidel's is probably the best view. (Broughton MRR I)
