Consuls
Broughton: Despite Piso's initial compliments to Cicero (a), he and his colleague actively supported the Tribune Clodius (b). Under one of the laws of Clodius Piso received the province of Macedonia (c), while under another law Gabinius was assigned first Cilicia and then Syria (d). Piso also took action against the Egyptian cults in Rome (e), and removed an old sacellum (f) of Diana on the Caelian hill.

Roussel and Launay (I. de Delos 4.1.1511) identify the Gabinius Capito in line 4 of CIL 12.2.2500 with the Consul, but the two Gabinii should be distinguished.

Broughton: The following men held provincial governorships immediately after the passage in 52 of the Pompeian law which established an interval between the praetorship or consulship and a provincial command, and may therefore have held the praetorship before 57 (all the Praetors of 57 are known). It is however more probable that the law did not apply to magistrates in office in 53 and 52 (see 54, Praetors), hence these dates remain only as possibilities.

Broughton: With the aid of Caesar and of Pompey, he was transferred in 59 to the Plebs, through adoption by a certain Fonteius, and elected to the tribunate (a), proceeded to revenge himself on 'Cicero by driving him into exile, and carried through an active program Of legislation which finally brought him into opposition with Pompey 'when he began to tamper with the latter's settlement of the East (b). His legislation included the following bills: 1. to distribute grain to the people free of charge (c); 2. to modify the Aelian and Fufian laws governing the use of obnuntiatio and the veto (d); 3. to restore the collegia (e); 4. to limit the use of the censorial nota to persons specifically accused before them (f); 5. to interdict from fire and water any persons who had put Romans to death uncondemned (g), and 6. after Cicero's departure into exile carried a measure exiling him by name (h); 7. to place the Consuls Gabinius and Piso in command of Cilicia and Macedonia, with a second measure (8) to give Gabinius Syria instead (see above, Consuls); 9. to annex Cyprus and restore exiles to Byzantium, with Cato in charge of both duties (see Promagistrates, on Cato); 10. to give Brogitarus of Galatia the title of King and control of Pessinus (i); 11. a bill regarding iniuria publica in favor of a certain Menulla of Anagnia (j); and probably 12. a bill to forbid treasury clerks from engaging in business (k).
