Marcus Caesonius

Praetor in 66 BCE

🏛️ Career

  1. 69 BCE
    Aedile ·curule

    Broughton: Mommsen (a) and Seidel (FA) supposed that Cicero and his colleague Caesonius were Curule Aediles. The games however that Cicero gave were dedicated to Ceres, Liber and Libera, and to Flora (b). He never refers to himself as Curule Aedile, or records giving the Megalesian games. The primi Romani ludi of Verr. 2.5.36-37 were probably not the Ludi Romani but the Ludi Plebeii. On the whole question, see L. R. Taylor, AJPh 60 (1939) 200, note 25.
