Gaius Julius Caesar

Father of Julius Caesar

🏛️ Career

  1. 92 BCE
    (aged 48)
    Praetor ·Asia

    Broughton: These Elogia, and the place of the Iulii in Cicero's list in Rab. Perd. 21, both indicate that the career of Caesar's father should be dated mainly between 100 and 90 B. C. (see Broughton, AJA 52 [1948] 323-330). If he held the quaestorship soon after 100 his praetorship and his proconsulate in Asia should be placed as late as possible before the command there of L. Cassius. Accordingly I suggest 92 for his praetorship and 91 for his proconsulate (MRR2)
