Career

  1. 91 BCE
    Praetor edit

    Though nowhere specifically termed a Praetor, Servilius Caepio's position among the ex-Consuls and ex-Praetors who served as Legates in the Social War indicates that he had held the office (see 90, Legates). In 91 he was nine years beyond his quaestorship. He was not, so far as we know, prosecuted directly in that year, but Drusus did use against him the threat which Tribunes usually reserved for magistrates in office: that of hurling him from the Tarpeian rock (a). His attack on Scaurus in 92 drew upon him a counter-accusation, perhaps of ambitus in his candidacy (b). See Münzer, APF 300. (MRR2)
