    (aged 34)
    Tribune of the Plebs

    Broughton: Niccolini (FTP 341-343) asserts the probability that C. Antonius, like his brothers, included the tribunate of the plebs in his career, as, indeed, Cicero expected him to do (a), but there is no direct evidence that he did so.

  3. 44 BCE
    (aged 36)
    Praetor

    Broughton: Appian mistakenly terms him Praetor Urbanus (see below, M. Iunius Brutus), but when Brutus withdrew from Rome he assumed the duties of the Praetor Urbanus, including the celebration of the Ludi Apollinares (a). In the Senate meeting on November 28 he was assigned the province of Macedonia, and departed soon afterwards from Italy (b).
