Aulus Gabinius edit

Career

1. 67 BCE
   Tribune of the Plebs edit
2. 61 BCE
   Praetor edit

   Gabinius served under Pompey in Syria and Palestine until 63 at least. This, the latest date permitted under the Cornelian law, is also the most probable date for his praetorship.

3. 58 BCE
   Consul edit

   Despite Piso's initial compliments to Cicero (a), he and his colleague actively supported the Tribune Clodius (b). Under one of the laws of Clodius Piso received the province of Macedonia (c), while under another law Gabinius was assigned first Cilicia and then Syria (d). Piso also took action against the Egyptian cults in Rome (e), and removed an old sacellum (f) of Diana on the Caelian hill.

   Roussel and Launay (I. de Delos 4.1.1511) identify the Gabinius Capito in line 4 of CIL 12.2.2500 with the Consul, but the two Gabinii should be distinguished.
