Ser. Sulpicius Rufus (cos. 51)
3 magistracies , aged 55 at this time
Go to term

Broughton: The strongly anti-Caesarian attitude of Marcellus who attempted to raise the question of a successor to Caesar in Gaul was opposed both by his colleague and by Pompey (a). Marcellus even went the length of scourging a citizen of Novum Comum, to show that he did not recognize Caesar's claim that they were citizens (b).

Syria
1 magistracy
Go to term

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.
