Publius Sulpicius Galba edit

Career

1. 69 BCE
   Aedile ·curule edit

   Sulpicius was not in office in 70 when Verres rejected him from the jury (a), nor is it probable that he held the aedileship after 69, since he was a candidate for the consulship of 63 (b). Bardt (Priester 15), Seidel (FA 54f.), and Münzer (RE) place his aedileship in 71, believing him excluded from 69 by the aedileships of Cicero and Caesonius, but with L. R. Taylor's demonstration that they were almost certainly Aediles of the Plebs (see note 5), this year becomes available for Sulpicius. See Pontifices. The evidence above excludes Sydenharn's dating in 65 (page lxiv of his forthcoming work).

2. 66 BCE
   Praetor edit

   A candidate for the consulship of 63 (a). If his aedileship is correctly dated in 69, this is the most probable year for his praetorship.
