Praetors

M. Herennius

2 magistracies

Broughton: This is the latest possible date under the Leges Annales. If he was a Triumvir Monetalis about 104 (but of. Grueber, CRRBM 1.195-198), he advanced in regular order in his career. (MRR2)

1 magistracy

MT: year of praetorship uncertain with DPRR listing it as 93 BCE.

MRR2: Praised in Diodorus (37.8.1-4) for restoring Sicily after the revolt of the slaves.

Broughton, MRR2
- In Diodorus the name appears as #, but a gens of that name is unknown. Klein (59f., no. 65) and Münzer (RE) plausibly use his association with C. (Sempronius) Longus on his staff (see Legates) to reconstruct the name given above. His governorship, whether as Praetor or Propraetor (#, Diod.), must be dated after that of Scaevola in Asia (Diod.; see 97, Promagistrates) and before the tribunate of Livius Drusus Brennan (2000): p. 747, footnote 263

Aediles

L. Gellius Poplicola

3 magistracies , aged 40 at this time

Quaestors

C. Julius Caesar Strabo

probable

2 magistracies , aged 35 at this time

Broughton: Caesar's quaestorship must precede his curule aedileship in 90 B. C. by several years. The order of offices in the Elogium indicates a date after 100 B. C. It is hardly possible to be more precise (MRR2)
