OXFORD, ENGLAND G0 gle FOREWORD I wish to thank most heartily the Directors of the American Philological Association for permission to add this Supplement to the new issue by photo-ofiset of Volume II of The Magistrates of the Roman Republic. The opportunity is the welcome not only because the years more seven which have intervened since publication have brought to light of errors commission and omission but also because evidence has been new accumu- lating and many important reviews and studies have appeared. Pressure of time and need for brevity have prevented me from doing justice to many of them, but I hope that these notes and the bibliography will enable all who interested to find them. are In this Supplement the arrangement by years of the original volumes has been discarded in the interest of brevity and convenience, and, ex- cepting a few pages of Errata which follow the pagination of the volumes, remarks and discussions have been organized about the These names. have been listed in the order of the Index of Careers and those which have been added starred. Many dates must still remain in doubt, are but in general, unless there is evidence for earlier date, oflices an are listed under the latest possible. Moreover, the terms of many pro- one magistrates did not coincide with the official year but began late or ex- tended until arrived. Many such partial years ignored. on a successor are Differences of opinion among numismatists the attribution and the on dating of much of the coinage suggest that the criteria for dating still require extensive review, though such recent contributions those of as A. Alfoldi, C. Kraay, and H. B. Mattingly, show that progress is being made. The titulature of many provincial governors remains imprecise. It may be that many who termed praetors in the texts really had are an -imperium pro consuls, Mommsen held and R. E. Smith is the most as as recent to point out. I much to many colleagues who have sent offprints have owe me or written have otherwise aided to become of recent studies. me or me aware I wish to make special acknowledgment to Sir Ronald Syme for the splen- did contributions contained in his review in Classical Philology in 1955 and in his article “Missing Senators” in Historia in the year, and in on same number of his other studies besides, to T.

Grant (FI TA 17) identifies the untitled quaestor in Sicily (p. 285, note 8) with the suifect consul of 33 (no. 16), but on p. 81 gives the consul his correct cognomen Glabrio. (TJC) M’.

With this disappears the chief basis for dating the tribunate of Acilius in the same year with that of Rubrius (2, cf. 9), whose bill created the colony of Carthage, and support for the claim one that the law in part preserved the Tabula Bembina is in fact the Lex on Acilia de repetundis. Tibiletti holds that the law preserved the on Tabula the Lex Sempronia itself, and that the Lex Acilia carried was was later, superseding it, but must be dated before the use of the tablet for the text of the Lex Agraria of 111. The tribunatc, or perhaps the master- ship, of M’. Acilius Glabrio should be dated between 121 and 111, and the law mentioned in the treaty with Astypalaea may be referred to the 1 G0 gle 2 THE MAGISTRAT OF THE ROMAN REPUBLIC time. E.

Q. n. BARBULA (33), C03. 230. A tantalising fragment of an Elogium, inscribed in letters of the first century after Christ, was found late in 1950 in Brundisium at the probable site of the ancient forum. (Il II, It was published by F. Ribezso Carrocio del Sud, 8. Vol. 4.2, Feb., 1951, not available to me) and more recently by G. Vitueci (RFIC 31 [1953] 43-61). The text, with Vitucci’s admittedly uncertain supple- ments, reads follows: as G0 gle ADDITIONS AND CORRECTIONS 3 Primus senatum legit et comitila ordinavit M. Iunio Pera M.] Barbula circumsedit vi [cepitque Tarentum praesi] cos. diumque Hannibalis et prae[dam ingentem. Solus e viris] militaribus praecipuum glor[iam cunctando sibi par-avit.] Vitucci considers it elogium of M. Fabius Cunctator and would refer an the first phrases to his censorship in 230 with the suggestion that they place the reform of the centuriate assembly at that date. L. R. Taylor (AJPh 78 [1957] 351—353) holds that the reform should be kept in the censorship of 241 (Liv. Per. 20) when the last two tribes were created, and that the phrase “Primus senatum legit et comitia .” refers rather . . to the achievement of the Fabius in completing these portions of censor his duties within year consulship. Earlier had carried one or one censors through lections of the Senate. The relationship of the inscription to the colony of Brundisium is not clear, yet the for omission of nor reason much of the material in other elogia of the Cunctator. Gabba’s View therefore that it honors local magistrate of the first period of the colony a seems preferable (Athenaeum 36 [1958] 90-105). ‘Q. Amumos Lsrmus Pat. (78).

His filiation was M’. f., and he may perhaps be identified with the Barbula named in App. B0 4.49 (Borghesi 5.289 17.). (TJC) There is no sign however that the cognomen Barbula was included in Fast. Cup. for 21. P. Asmmos P. f. Lsrrnus (not in RE), Proq. Crete 43-42. As the known Aemilii Lepidi did not use the praenomen P., the nomen of P. Lepidus remains uncertain.

Feb:-., shows that his victory was won in the consular year 190. Ernst Meyer (Erasmus 6, nos. 13-14, col. 480) notes that his imperium was not formally prorogued for 189. But he probably con- tinued to hold it until his return to Italy. Paullus was sent to Farther Spain as a praetor in 191, but with the imperium of a proeonsul (Plut. G0 gle 4 THE MAGISTRATES OF THE ROMAN REPUBLIC Aem. 4.1). Jashemski is, I believe, correct in her View that throughout this period the governors of Spain, though sent praetors, held the as imperium of proconsuls (Origin and History of the Proconsular and Propraetorian Imperium to 27 B. (7., 41-47). A. H. MacDonald offers explanation of the inconsistencies in Livy’s record of titles that as an one source treated them as praetore and another as proconsuls (JRS 43 [1953] 143 f.; and see his references to Kahrstedt and to Klotz, -iln'd.).

Perhaps a son of the consul of 60, but not specifically termed a magistrate senator. or a ‘P. AL. Oflicer at Octavian’s naval base at Lipara 37-36, see p. 406. Grant (FITA 52-4) suggests P.

(TJC) T. AuPIUs BALBUB (1), Procos. Asia 58. The reading Ampio in Cic. Pam. 3.7.5 (cf. 1.3.2) implies that Ampius Balbus, proconsul in Asia in 58-57, also the immediate predecessor of Lentulus Spinther in was Cilicia in 57-56. This cannot be due to the transfer of the three Phrygian dioceses from Asia to Cilicia at that time, for C. Fabius Hadrianus issued coins in Laodiceia and Apameia in that year (p. 203) proconsul in Asia. as Magie (Roman Rule in Asia Minor, 1247) suggests that he received G0 gle ADDITIONS AND CORRECTIONS 5 Cilicia the year after he was in Asia by a special grant, and Syme (CPI: 50 [1955] 130; cf. Anat. Stud. Buckler 301) that this was arranged when Syria substituted for Gabinius’ original province of Cilicia, better was a solution than the suggestion (p. 197 above) that Ampio in Cic. Fem. 3.7.5 may be an error for Fabio. ‘AN. An ofiicer at the triumviral naval base at Lipara in 37-36, see p. 406, and p. 478, among possible quaestors. ‘M. AN1c1Us (4).

The inscription, CCLX/T. Annius T. f./Pr., ea.st refers to the praetorsbip, not otherwise directly attested, of the Consul of 128. It should therefore be dated in or earlier than 131, but can hardly be earlier than 131 if C. Popfllius Laenas was in fact the builder of the highway from Capua to Rhegium (CIL 1’.2.637, 638—ILS 23) in 132, since the stone bears the name of Annius Rufus, not of Popillius. See L.
