44 BCE(aged 41)Praetor ·urban
Broughton: He became the leader of the conspirators against Caesar (see above, on Cassius), shared in the amnesty of March 18 and the agreements then ratified with Antony, but was compelled by the feeling of the populace and the rise of Antony's power to leave Rome in early April (a). He remained for some months in Italy, first in Latium and later in Campania, leaving to C. Antonius his duties as Praetor Urbanus (see above, on C. Antonius), and collected a fleet, as he had been assigned to the curatorship of the grain supply in Asia by the Senate on June 5 (b). He was later, perhaps on August 1, assigned the province of Crete pro consule (c). He left Italy in late August (d), proceeded to Athens and moved on Macedonia toward the end of the year, probably upon hearing of the provincial allotments on November 28, having first found many recruits among the young Romans studying at Athens, and secured considerable financial aid from M. Appuleius the returning Quaestor of Asia (e).
MT: The PDF version of MRR2 (produced by Tim Yung Min Schroter) has the original Broughton commentary slightly corrupted: "[...] proceeded to Athens and moved on Macedonia toward the end of the yeaT, probably upon" there's a big block of text that follows from here that doesn't belong before resuming "...hearing of the provincial allotments"
