Some info. from Broughton

[Caesar CXXXVII]

Could someone please mention Broughton's list of governers for the years 166 - 156 (in particular for Hispania Ulterior and Hispania Citerior) ?

 

Thanks in advance and hail Duffy Duck !

Eh, any excuse to delve into Broughton.

 

Only a couple of Praetors (in 166) appear to have perhaps served in an administrative capacity in Hispania. Mostly we have various Legates listed as having been sent forth to the provinces to observe conditions, take action in some cases, and make recommendations to the Senate.

 

May I ask what prompted the request?

 

166

M. Fonteius, Praetor for Sardinia (?)

A. Licinius Nerva, Praetor for Hispania Citerior (?)

P. Quinctilius Varus, Praetor for Sicily (?)

P. Rutilius Calvus, Praetor for Hispania Ulterior (?)

 

165

Ti. Sempronius Gracchus, a Legate, "Sent as head of an embassy...to Pergamum, Cappadocia, Syria, and Rhodes to investigate the attitude of the various kings and states..."

 

164

C. Sulpicius Galus and M'. Sergius, Legates "sent to observe conditions in Greece, to arbitrate a territorial dispute between Sparta and Magalopolis, and particlarly to investigate the actions of Eumenes of Pergamum and Antiochus of Syria, even hearing accusations against Eumenes publicly at Sardia."

 

163

(L.) Canuleius (Dives) and Q. (Marcius Philippus ?), Legates "(called Canuleius and Quintus by Polybius) aided in securing the temporary settlement between Ptolemy VI and Ptolemy VII by which the latter received Cyrene..."

 

M. Iunius (Brutus), Legate who was "head of an embassy sent to settle disputes between Ariarathes IV of Cappadocia and the Troemi."

 

Cn. Octavius, Sp. Lucretius, and L. Aurelius (Orestes), Legates who were "sent to the East with instructions to disarm Syria, now ruled by the minor son of Antiochus IV, burn the warships and hamstring the elephants, and to survey the situation in Macedonia, Galatia, and Cappadocia, also to reconcile the two Ptolemies in Alexandria."

 

162

Ti. Sempronius Gracchus, promagistrate who "returned from Sardinia before the end of the year to become a Legate." Later that year, Gracchus along with L. Cornelius Lentulus Lupus and Servilius Glaucia, was "appointed to examine the condition of Greece; and in Asia, to observe the result of Demetrius' action, the attitude of the other kings, and to settle their disputes with the Galatians."

 

T. Manlius Torquatus and Cn. Cornelius Merula, Legates "sent to Egypt to induce Ptolemy VI to be reconciled again with his brother and cede him Cyprus..."

 

161

P. Apustius and Cn. Cornelius Lentulus, Legates "sent to Cyrene to inform Ptolemy VII of the end of Rome's alliance with Ptolemy VI."

 

160-159

None apparently listed serving in any capacity of foreign governorship, overseeing, advisement, etc.

 

158

C. Fannius Strabo, Legate "head of a commission sent, after the receipt of complaints from Issa and the Daorsi, to observe conditions in Illyria and Dalmatia."

 

157

C. Fannius Strabo, Legate who, along with his fellow commissioners, "reported the continued offences committed by the Dalmatians and the mistreatment they had themselves received. The Senate resolved upon war."

 

156

P. Cornelius Lentulus, Legate who "confirmed, upon returning from Asia, reports of attacks by Prusias of Bithynia upon Attalus of Pergamum, which the Senate had at first received with scepticism."

 

L. Appuleius (Saturninus) and C. Petronius, Legates "sent after Lentulus made his report to investigate the difficulties between Prusias and Attalus."
