Consuls

C. Vibius Pansa Caetronianus (cos. 43)

4 magistracies , aged 46 at this time

Broughton: After much debate in January the Senate charged both Consuls with the task of raising levies and of preparing for military operations against Antony in order to relieve Decimus Brutus at Mutina (a). In that month Hirtius began a slow advance toward Cisalpine Gaul, uniting with and in general taking superior command over the forces of Octavian, yet still attempting to leave some opening for a settlement with Antony (b).

Meantime Pansa was active in raising levies, and continued in charge of business in Rome. Upon the abrogation of much of the Antonian legislation (c), Pansa carried fresh measures to confirm the veteran colonies (d), and probably also measures to confirm Caesar's acts and to abolish the office of Dictator (e). He presided over the various debates regarding Antony's status, the legitimizing of the command of Brutus in Macedonia, the recognition of Sextus Pompey, and the command against Dolabella in Asia and Syria (in the latter case his own expectation of a province brought him into conflict with Cicero's proposal of a maius imperium for Cassius) (f).

Pansa left Rome about March 19, intending to join Hirtius in Cisalpine Gaul, but Antony's attempt to surprise him led first to a defeat for Pansa's army of recruits, and then to a serious reverse at Forum Gallorum for Antony himself at the hands of Hirtius and Octavian (g). All three commanders were acclaimed Imperatores, and in Rome the Senate voted a supplicatio, and a memorial to the fallen (h). In a second battle at Mutina on April 21 Hirtius and Octavian again defeated Antony, who raised the siege of Mutina and retreated hastily to the west, but Hirtius fell in the battle, and Pansa died shortly afterwards (April 23) of wounds received at Forum Gallorum (i). The two Consuls received public burial in Rome in the Campus Martius (j).

3 magistracies , aged 20 at this time

Broughton: The development of the situation after the death of the two Consuls led Octavian in August to send a deputation of soldiers to demand election to the consulship for him and later to march on Rome at the head of his army. On August 19 he was elected to the consulship with Q. Pedius as his colleague through two persons who were themselves irregularly elected to act instead of Consuls (a) for the purpose (b). The adoption of Octavian as Caesar's son was immediately confirmed by a curiate law (c) and the previous declaration of Dolabella (already dead in Syria, see below, Promagistrates) as a public enemy was repealed (d). At his suggestion his colleague carried a law to set up courts for the trials of Caesar's murderers (see below, on Pedius). He then moved back to Cisalpine Gaul to meet the forces of Antony and Lepidus, and in November came to the agreement with these that established all three as Triumviri rei publicae constituendae (see below; e), and under the terms of the agreement abdicated his consulship by or before November 27 (f).
