🏛️ Career

  1. 102 BCE
    Praetor ·Farther Spain

    Broughton: As governor of a Spanish province, probably the Farther one, he subdued some Lusitanians with Celtiberian aid, and secured permission from the Senate to found a city for his allies (a). Appian dates Marius' action five years before the victory of Didius at Colenda, which probably took place in 97 (see 97, Promagistrates). Marius was probably the brother of the Consul who adopted his sister's son, M. Marius Gratidianus (b).
