Cincius was probably the author of the Lex Cincia de Donis et Muneribus (Cic. Sen. 10; De Or. 2.286; Att. 1.20.7; Liv. 34.4.9; Tac. Ann. 11.5; 13.42; 15.20; Fest. 127 L; cf. Frag. Vat. in Font. Iur.

Both were assigned provinces in Italy (Liv. 33.25.4-11), where Furius made war upon Gauls and Ligurians (33.37.1-9), and Claudius upon the Boii (33.36.4-15, cf. Val. Ant. fr. 34 Peter; Oros. 4.20.11). Claudius celebrated a triumph (Liv. 33.37.9-12; Act. Tr., Degrassi 78f., 552). (Broughton MRR I)

  • Legatus (Ambassador) 195 Africa (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • Since Nissen (Untersuchungen 151-3) many have followed App. and Nep. (above) in dating this embassy in 196 (cf. De Sanctis 4.115, note 3), but Holleaux (Hermes 43 [1908] 296-299; REA 15 [1913] 1ff.) has shown that the events mentioned occurred in one season, that Marcellus was probably the Consul of 196, and that Antiochus was probably at Lysimacheia and Ephesus a second time in 195 (cf. Liv. 34.33.12). Note too that Scipio Africanus delayed the sending of the embassy. On Marcellus, note that these embassies usually consisted of two senior senators and one junior one, a circumstance which favors the Consul of 196. (Broughton MRR I)
    • Sent to Carthage to accuse Hannibal before the Carthaginian Senate (Liv. 33.47.3-9, and 49.1-4; cf. Nep. Hann. 7; Iustin. 31.2.1; App. Syr. 4). (Broughton MRR I)

  • Censor 189 (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • Cic. Sen. 42; Liv. 37.57.9-58.2, 41.9.9, and 13.4; Fast. Cap., Degrassi 48f., 122, 454f.; Plut. Flam. 18.1.

Flam. 18.2). (Broughton MRR I)
