Consuls
Broughton: Cinna was killed early in the year by mutinous troops at Ancona while arranging passage for his army to Epirus (a). Carbo continued Cinna's preparations against Sulla's return from the East (b), and continued in Picenum and Cisalpine Gaul until checked by Pompey (c). As unfavorable auspices prevented the holding of elections he remained sole Consul throughout the rest of the year (d).

Aediles
Broughton: @Brougthon: On his aedileship, see (a). It was rejected by Münzer (RE 13.2.2082), but accepted by Sumner (b). A date ca. 84 is based on a calculation from the date of his consulship. Consul 78 and Censor 65. See (c). Refer also to Plut. Cat. Min. 16.4-6 on the dispute between the younger Cato as quaestor and Catulus before he abdicated his censorship.
