Praetor edit

In one of the inscriptions cited above (IG 12.8.24 1) L. Iulius Caesar is termed [# and in the other, if it really refers to him (note that on the stone the praenomen is Gaius), [#. On the coins he is termed Pr(aetor?). Gäbler (Ant. Münz. Nordgriechentands 3.1.69f., and ZN, loc. cit.) places him in Macedonia in 93/92, but has overlooked the fact that his successor Sentius was Praetor Urbanus in 94 and almost certainly proceeded immediately afterwards to Macedonia. Accordingly, Caesar's praetorship should be dated in 95 and his governorship in 94 at the latest. See Jashemski 54, and 130, note 1.
90 BCE

Consul edit

In the Social War Caesar held general command in the southern area, and there, after reverses near Aesernia and in southern Campania, he routed the Samnites at Acerrae (a). In Rome he carried his law to give citizenship to all Latins and Italians who had remained loyal (b), and to permit commanders to grant it de consili sententia (c). Rutilius, who held command in the northern theatre, refused to heed the advice of Marius to wait and train his recruits, and on June 11 was routed and killed in the Tolenus valley (d).
