Crass. 8-9; App. BC 1. 116 (1) The name of Claudius is preserved in full in SIG³ 747. The epitomizer of Livy mistakenly calls him Pulcher and gives his title as Legatus, while Appian has combined the names of the two Praetors into the single name Varinius Glaber (see Münzer, Philologue 55 [1896] 387-389) and probably substituted the name P. Valerius for Varinius. As the operations of Varinius began in the autumn of 73 (Sall. Hist. 2.86 M) and probably continued into 72 there may be a sound basis for the title procos. attributed to him in Frontinus
Broughton: A colleague who was sent to advise and assist Varinius against Spartacus, but was almost captured himself and fell in battle (a). See below, on Varinius. (1)
