Praetors
Broughton: Crushed the leaders of a revolt in Spain and destroyed their towns (). Nasica's title is not preserved, nor is the date absolutely certain. Wilsdorf (b), places the Consul Flaccus in Nearer Spain against the Celtiberi, and Nasica therefore in Farther Spain (see 92, Promagistrates, on Flaccus). A date in 93 is perhaps more probable than the 94 favored by the order of the passage in Obsequens, since the two incumbent governors in Spain, Didius and Crassus, did not celebrate their triumphs until June 10 and 12, respectively, of 93 (see Promagistrates). Nasica's praetorship is not mentioned, though his eminence and connections (c) as well as his command make it probable that he held it. It is not clear whether he went to Spain in the year of his praetorship.

Broughton: Sulla omitted the aedileship but after a failure in the praetorian elections of 95 (Plut. Sull. 5.1) was successful the following year. Wehrmann (PP 21) has misinterpreted the word in Plin. Sull. 5.2. He is clearly the Pr. Urbanus in Auct. Vir. Ill. 75.3: inter cives im dixit.

Broughton: MRR2: 92 Promagistrates note - Valerius Flaccus, though appointed to Asia in his consulship (see 86, Consuls), was killed by Fimbria before he reached his province. The provincial collections therefore for a festival in his honor which were deposited at Tralles before the Mithridatic War (Cic. Flacc. 55-61.) indicate that he had been governor of Asia either during, or more probably after, his praetorship. As he had held the aedileship in 99 his governorship would probably follow that of Mucius Scaevola in 91 and precede that of C. Iulius Caesar about 91. See Sternkopf, Jahrb. f. Cl. Philol. 155 (1897) 573-576; and Magie, Roman Rule in Asia Minor 2.1242, note 1.
