Career

1. 74 BCE
   Quaestor edit

   MRR2: Licinius Murena and Sulpicius Rufus were colleagues in the quaestorship (a), with careers closely parallel to that of Cicero. As they are not named as colleagues of Cicero, and Murena soon afterwards became a Legate under Lucullus (see 73, Legates), I list them as Quaestors in 74.
