Praetor
Broughton: Presided over the first trial of a certain Terentius Varro, probably A. Terentius Varro (see 82, Legates; 77, Promagistrates), for extortion in Asia (a). The trial was postponed, and became a notorious case in the next year (see 74, Praetors, on Lentulus Sura; and on the date, Cic. Cluent. 130; Magie, Roman Rule in Asia Minor 2.1125, note 42). Cicero (Brut. 237) mentions L. Turius, a Praetor and a candidate for the consulship in this period.
