Marcus Aurelius Cotta (pr. 54)

Praetor in 54 BCE

🏛️ Career

  1. Praetor

    Broughton: The appearance of the members of this group (Tubero, Cotta, Nonianus, Fannius Postimius, Sestius and Voconius) as Promagistrates in various provinces and commands in 49 after the passage of Pompey's law making mandatory an interval of five years between the city magistracy and the provincial command, suggests that they had held the praetor ship by or before 54 B. C. Fannius at least had good prospects of attaining the praetorship when he was referred to in 56 (see above). It is not clear how far the emergency caused exemptions from the law in 49, nor does it appear to have applied to the magistrates in office in 52.
