Gaius Verres

The Verres that was famously prosecuted by Cicero for his governorship of Sicily

🏛️ Career

  1. 84 BCE
    (aged 30)
    Quaestor

    Broughton: Assigned to serve under the Consul Papirius Carbo in Picenum (a). Bülz, De Prov. Rom. Quaest. (Diss. Leipzig, 1893) 55, and Lübker, Lex.8, date the quaestorship of Verres in 82, Carbo's third consulship; but Cicero quite clearly dates it 14 years before the trial and one year before the consulship of Scipio in 83.
