M

M. Petreius

1 magistracy , aged 28 at this time

Broughton: Sallust makes clear that Petreius held the praetorship before 63, but there is no proof of Münzer's theory that the games given by Antonius, Murena, and Petreius form a series in which the silver of Antonius in 66 and Murena in 65 was surpassed by the gold of Petreius in 64 (a)

M. Plaetorius Cestianus

3 magistracies

Broughton: Termed # in an inscription of Delphi (a). Pomtow mistakenly dates him in 66. The present date is a conjecture from that of his service as Iudex Quaestionis in 66 (b), and from the place where there is room for him in the Fasti of Macedonia. See 63, Promagistrates.
