Career

  1. Praetor ·Quaestio de repetundis edit

    Did not join his colleagues in supporting Cicero's recall (a), and continued to support his brother (b).

  2. Consul edit

    Domitius continued in strong opposition to the Triumvirate and their henchmen, against Caesar (a), against Gabinius (b), and even opposed burial honors for Iulia (c). Claudius became reconciled with Cicero (d), first aided Gabinius by using comitial days to delay the proceedings against him (e), then attacked him (f), aided Pomptinus at last to obtain his triumph (see Promagistrates), served along with a commission of ten Legates to settle disputes between Interamna and Reate (g), and vowed a propylon to Demeter at Eleusis (h). Both Consuls were involved in the election scandal of this year (i). Claudius proceeded to his province of Cilicia, probably without the benefit of a Lex curiata de imperio (j).
