L. Marcius Philippus

5 magistracies , aged 50 at this time

Broughton: In the lection of the Senate Philippus passed over his uncle Ap. Claudius Pulcher, one of the exiles (a). L. Valerius Flaccus, the only living patrician censorius, was named Princeps Senatus (b), and the roll of citizens numbered 463,000 (c). On the census, see ESAR 1.217, and Bennett, Cinna 44f. Censorinus (DN 23.7) refers to the placing of a sundial in the Forum by the Censor Marcius Philippus, but since Scipio Nasica is said to be Censor aliquanto post he may refer to Q. Marcius Philippus, Censor 164.
