Consuls

L. Licinius Crassus
5 magistracies , aged 45 at this time

MT: They carried a law to ban non-citizens from acting as Roman citizens and to re-register themselves into their allied communities (Cicero, De Oficiis 3.47). Crassus defended Q. Caepio from some unknown charge (Cicero Brut. 102), and repressed raiders in Cisalpine Gaul, but his demand for a triumph was vetoed by his colleague (Cic. Inv. 2.111, Consul; Pis. 62, and Ascon. 15 C; Val. Max. 3.7.6, Proconsul; see 94, Promagistrates).

Praetors

L. Aurelius Cotta
2 magistracies , aged 40 at this time

Broughton: Klebs (RE), Wehrmann (Fast. Praet. 23), and Niccolini (FTP 214) date Cotta's praetorship after 93 B. C. because they believe that he held the tribunate in 95. As we have pointed out above (see 103, Tribunes of the Plebs), 103 is a more probable date. He was a friend of Catulus, Consul 102, and is termed his sodalis (Cic. De Or. 3.42; in a priesthood?, Münzer, RE 13.2.2079). He is mentioned in Cicero's Brutua (137; 289) with a group who flourished mainly before 100 B. C. I place Cotta's praetorship by conjecture about eight years after his tribunate (MRR2)

2 magistracies

Broughton: In one of the inscriptions cited above (a) L. Iulius Caesar is termed [# and in the other, if it really refers to him (note that on the stone the praenomen is Gaius), [#. On the coins he is termed Pr(aetor?). Gäbler (b) places him in Macedonia in 93/92, but has overlooked the fact that his successor Sentius was Praetor Urbanus in 94 and almost certainly proceeded immediately afterwards to Macedonia. Accordingly, Caesar's praetorship should be dated in 95 and his governorship in 94 at the latest. See Jashemski 54, and 130, note 1.
