Consuls
Broughton: Piso was strongly opposed to the proposals of the Tribune Gabinius (a), to the recruitment of forces for Pompey (b), and the proposals of the Tribune Cornelius (c), and to counter the latter was compelled to carry a bribery law of his own (d). He was assigned the province of Transalpine Gaul during his consulship (e), and also the Cisalpine province (f; see Larsen, CPh 26 [1931] 427-429). He stopped Lollius Palicanus from his candidacy for the consulship (g). Glabrio supported his colleague's bribery law (h), and under a law of Gabinius received command of Bithynia and Pontus (j).

Broughton: A candidate for the consulship of 64 (a). The identification of Curius with the member of the Catilinarian conspiracy (RE no. 7), though defended by Hölzl (FP 32f.), is rejected by Münzer (RE no. 1). An ex-Quaestor expelled from the Senate by the Censors of 70 would hardly have time to be a candidate for the consulship of 64 (see Mommsen, Str. 1.522, note 3).

Broughton: MRR2: The date of the praetorships of Iunius and Publicius, and the curule aedileships of Flaminius and Plaetorius must be later than the term of the Censors elected about July 70 (a) and precede Cicero's praetorship in 66 (147). As Flaminius and Plaetorius were then in charge of the Quaestio de sicariis it is probable that, like Caesar in 64, they held the office of Iudex Quaestionis in the year following their aedileship. Accordingly, I place their aedileship and the praetorship of lunius and Publicius in 67 (see Wehrmann, FP 48, note; and Münzer, RE, Flaminius no. 4). Sydenham (lxiv) dates Plaetorius in 68.

Tribune of the Plebs
Broughton: Cornelius first proposed a bill to forbid loans to foreign states, but failed to carry it (a; see below, on Gabinius). His second proposal, to make the people the sole source of exemption from the laws, was vetoed amid disorders, but he carried a compromise proposal requiring a quorum of 200 senators (b). Third, he carried a law to compel Praetors to follow their own edicta perpetua (c). And among other bills which failed of passage (d) was a bribery law which at least compelled the acceptance of the milder Lex Calpurnia (see above, Consuls).

Broughton: Gabinius first carried a law to assign Bithynia and Pontus,(7) and part of the army of Lucullus (the Valerian legions were dismissed) to the Consul Glabrio (a; see above, Consuls). His major bill, the one on the war with the pirates, carried amid violent disorder (see below, on Trebellius), created for one commander, Pompey, an unlimited imperium like that of M. Antonius Creticus in 74, for at least three years, over the coasts of the Mediterranean and for 50 miles inland, equal to that of the respective governors in their provinces, with the right to appoint 15 (or 24) Legates with imperium pro praetore, raise a navy of 300 (or 500) ships, levy recruits as desired, and draw upon public funds (b). He broke the veto of his colleague Trebellius by proposing to depose him from office (see below), and overcame the opposition of the Consul Piso (c). Finally, a Gabinian law(8) forbidding loans to foreign envoys in Rome (d) may have been carried by Gabinius when the proposal of Cornelius failed (see above).

Quinctius in 67 (see 68, Praetors), but the evidence seems clear that Lucullus' provinces were taken from him separately, Asia in 69 (Dio 36.2.2), Cilicia in 68 before Caesar's return from Spain (Suet. Iul. 8) in time to support the law of Gabinius (Plut. Pomp. 25.3), and finally Bithynia and Pontus under a law of Gabinius (Sall. Hist. 5.13 M).
- (8) Since the law is not mentioned before 56 it could possibly be a law of his consulship in 58, as Mommsen (Stralrecht 885) and Niccolini (FT.P 258) believe.
