Dictators

C. Julius Caesar

14 magistracies , aged 56 at this time

Broughton: Caesar was still Dictator for the fourth time at the beginning of the year, but he became Dictator Perpetuus at some time after January 26, when he celebrated an ovatio as Dictator IIII, and February 15 (a). The excessive honors, including deification (b), which were paid to Caesar in the last months of his life included a prefectship of public morals for life (c), provision that magistrates should swear to uphold the validity of his acts (d), an oath, taken by all the senators, to protect his person (e), the title Parens Patriae (f), the naming of the month of July in his honor (see above, on Antony), provision that his son should be Pontifex Maximus (g), the right to a gilded chair and triumphal robe and a laurel crown on public occasions (h), a temple to his Clemency (i). He was actually deified with Antony as his Flamen (see above). He was murdered by the conspirators on the Ides of March, just before his intended departure for a campaign against the Parthians. On his honors, see esp. L. R. Taylor, Divinity of the Roman Emperor 58-77; on his acts in 44, D.-G. 3.604-656; RE, cols. 250-257; T. Rice Holmes, Roman Republic 3.330-344, and 567.

M. Antonius (cos. 44)

5 magistracies , aged 39 at this time

Broughton: As Caesar's colleague Antony carried at least two of the many measures in his honor, one to change the name of the month Quinctilis to Iulius (a), and one to dedicate the fifth day of the Ludi Romani to Caesar (b). He opposed Caesar's intention of naming Dolabella Consul Suffectus upon departing for his eastern campaign (c). At the celebration of the Lupercalia he offered Caesar a crown (d). On the Ides of March Trebonius drew him away from the scene of the assassination (e). He fled, but later, with the backing of Lepidus and his troops (see Master of Horse, and Promagistrates), recovered himself, secured possession of Caesar's papers and his treasury, and used a period of accommodation with the Liberators and the help of Caesar's veterans to become master of the situation in Rome. Brutus and Cassius were driven out of the capital and received commands (see below, Praetors), and other Liberators succeeded to commands which had been assigned to them by Caesar (see Promagistrates), while Antony himself gained command of Macedonia (and Dolabella of Syria) in April (f) and of Caesar's army there, and then early in June secured by plebiscite the Gallic provinces instead, while both he and Dolabella were confirmed in their commands for five years (g).

Within this period after the Ides of March several other pieces of legislation were carried: a Lex Antonia to confirm Caesar's acts (h), and another abolishing the dictatorship (i), and with his colleague Dolabella one making fresh assignments of land to veterans (j). A Lex Antonia added a third panel to the juries, one of centurions without census rating (k), while another permitted appeal by persons condemned in the quaestiones perpetuae de vi and de maiestate (l). In addition there was a large amount of legislation for which Antony claimed the authority of Caesar's acta one to recall exiles (m), one to grant full Roman citizenship to all of Sicily (n), one to restore Deiotarus of Galatia to his full rights as King in Galatia (o), and one to relieve the island of Crete of vectigalia, and make it no longer a province after Brutus' governorship (p).

Meantime, rising support for Caesar's heir, the young Octavian, and the growth of opposition to Antony among the moderate Caesarians led by Hirtius and Pansa caused him increasing difficulty, which was augmented when two of this legions on their way from Macedonia to attack Decimus Brutus in Cisalpine Gaul deserted to Octavian. Toward the end of the year he entered Cisalpine Gaul to enforce his claim to that province against the Proconsul Decimus Brutus, who insisted that he was remaining as the legitimate governor. On Antony's acts from March 15 until the end of the year the chief texts are found in (q)

2 magistracies , aged 25 at this time

Broughton: Caesar chose Dolabella with the intention that when he should depart for the Parthian war Dolabella should become Consul in his place (a), but Antony opposed the election (b). Dolabella however used the occasion of Caesar's assassination to secure the consent of both the Liberators and Antony to his succession (c). He probably joined Antony in carrying in April a law for the settlement of veterans (d). In the same month during Antony's absence from Rome he suppressed a worship of Caesar and destroyed a pillar that had been erected where the body had been burned (e). In the reallotment of consular provinces in April he received Syria (f; see above, on Antony; and below, Legates, on Cicero). Soon after presiding over the meeting of the Senate on September 2 (g) he prepared to depart for his province, and though still at Formiae on October 25 (h) returned no more to Rome. He was still Consul when he passed through Macedonia and took with him one legion from Caesar's former army there, and perhaps reached Asia by the end of the year (i). See 43, Promagistrates.

In the Senate meeting on November 28 he was assigned the province of Macedonia, and departed soon afterwards from Italy (b).

Cyrene

3 magistracies , aged 38 at this time

Broughton: Caesar preferred Brutus to him for the office of Praetor Urbanus (a), and Cassius therefore probably received the one next in dignity. He was the moving spirit in the conspiracy against Caesar though Brutus became the leader (b). Although he shared in the amnesty accorded to the Liberators, the revulsion of feeling in Rome and the rise of Antony compelled both him and Brutus to withdraw from the city early in April (c). He remained for some months in Latium and Campania collecting a fleet, ostensibly in connection with his appointment to charge of the grain collection by the Senate on June 5 (d). Later in the summer he was assigned the province of Cyrene, perhaps about August 1 (e). He joined Brutus in issuing an edict in sharp criticism of Antony (f), and about the end of September departed for the East, and proceeded, not to the province assigned him, but by way of Asia (g) to Syria (h).

Broughton: Though probably not one of the conspirators (a), this brother of Caesar's first wife joined the conspirators and took off the insignia of his praetorship since they were the gift of a tyrant (b), but when he resumed them for the Senate meeting of March 17 he required the protection of Lepidus (c). He became such an object of hatred to the crowd at Caesar's funeral that they killed a Tribune named Cinna by mistake for him (see Tribunes of the Plebs). He sponsored the recall of Caesetius and Marullus (see Tribunes of the Plebs; d) after Caesar's death, and in the Senate meeting on November 28 refused to share in the allotment of provinces (e).

2 magistracies , aged 41 at this time

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"

C. Helvius Cinna

1 magistracy

Broughton: He proposed the measure which deprived Caesetius and Marullus of their tribunician powers (see above; a), and it was said had already drawn up a bill at Caesar's wish empowering Caesar to marry such and so many wives as he wished (b). He was killed by the crowd after Caesar's funeral by mistake for the Praetor Cinna (c). On his identification with the poet Cinna, see Plut. Brut. 20.5; Schwabe, Philologus 47 (1889) 169f., and against it, Deutsch, CJ 20 (1925) 326ff.

1 magistracy

Broughton: Tribune in 44 (a), and one of the conspirators along with his brother P. Casca Longus (b), but according to Dio (44.52), he escaped the fate of Cinna (see above) by announcing that the name Casca was all that he had in common with the conspirator.

Broughton: Perhaps the Flaminius whose candidacy for a vacancy in the college (caused by the death of Cinna?) was being supported by Octavian when Antony refused to allow the election to continue (a; but note the senator Cillo who perished in the proscriptions, b).
