Canini Sallustius

Quaestor in 51 BCE

🏛️ Career

  1. 51 BCE
    Quaestor ·Syria

    Broughton: Served as a Proquaestor in 50 under Bibulus in Syria (a). In RE he is identified, probably erroneously, with Sallust the historian. Orelli read the praenomen as Cn., Mommsen as C. (b) and identified him with the historian. It is improbable that the historian, who was a strong supporter of Caesar, would have served under Bibulus, or that, being an ex-Tribune, he would have taken the title of Legatus pro qaestore.
