- Cic. Brut. 16 1. On the date, see note 2. MRR2 - note 2: This is the latest possible date in view of the date of his consulship. Balsdon has shown (CR 51 [1937] 8-10) that the phrase in Asconius, provinciam ..... deposuerat (15 C), refers to his consulship, when his colleague Crassus was demanding a triumph, and means not that he left his province, which would demand the verb decedere, but that he refused at that time to go to a province at all. Magie in his important recent work, Roman Rule in Asia Minor (2.1064, note 47) returns to the view that Scaevola's governorship of Asia followed his consulship, since otherwise the interval between the acts of Scaevola's Legate, Rutilius Rufus, and his prosecution in 92 would be inexplicably long. The interval however was greater in the case of C. Norbanus (see 103, Tribunes of the Plebs), and of C. Antonius (see 84, Prefects, and 76 Praetors, on M. Lucullus). The balance of political factors in Rome may well have had much to do with the date of the trial of Rutilius. It is unlikely that Scaevola assumed command of Asia during the year of his praetorship, for he remained in his province only nine months (Cic. Att. 5.17.5), and his title while there was Proconsul (Liv. Per. 70; cf. OGIS 437 and 439; see 97, Promagistrates).

MT: some uncertainty about timing of this praetorship but given he was consul in 95 BCE Broughton believes this is the latest possible date.

Tribune of the Plebs
Broughton: Brought unsuccessful prosecutions against P. Furius (Tr. Pl. 99), which he lost because he expressed regret for the death of Saturninus (a), and against Valerius Flaccus (Aed. Cur. 99; b), and when he was himself prosecuted and condemned after his year of office he departed to live in Asia (c).

Q. Caecilius Metellus Nepos (cos. 98) (): 98 BCE (Consul)
Broughton: Carried the law which recalled Metellus Numidicus from exile (a). The date is established by the phrase # in Diodorus (36. 10) describing Metellus' exile, and by the statement in Schol. Bob. (176 Stangl) that his summons to return came from Metellus Nepos (a Consul this year) and Metellus Pius (his son).

Broughton: Brought P. Furius (Tr. Pl. 99) to trial before the assembly for opposing the recall of Metellus Numidicus, but the assembly is reported to have lynched Furius at once (a). Niccolini (FTP 205-210) holds that our sources are confused, so that there was only one prosecution of Furius, and the word Canuleius is simply a mistake on Appian's part for Appuleius. Wehrmann (Volkstrib. 4) and Klebs (RE S. v. "Appuleius" 21) maintain that there was only one action brought by Appuleius and Canuleius together, while Ziegler (Trib. 18) and Von der Mühll (Saturninus 97 ff.) favor two actions of differing issue. This view agrees best with the evidence we have. Furius, who had joined the conservative side and was a personal enemy of Metellus Numidicus, was acquitted when prosecuted by a partisan of Saturninus but did not survive an action based on his enmity for Numidicus.
