Lucan and Republican Promagistrates
This paper argues that Lucan’s use of the word privatus to refer to the proconsuls Caesar and Pompeius corresponds to the republican formal definition of promagistrates as privati vis-à-vis magistratus (the existence of such a definition is, however, a subject of modern debate). Additionally, Lucan uses the label privatus to highlight Caesar and Pompeius’ unusually proactive role in the sphere domi , outside their sphere of competence. Building o…
Privatus or tribunus celerum? The Myth of Lucius Brutus and the Political Role of Private Individuals
A Proconsul’s administration of Rome
Research questions asked about Pompeius' cura annonae – often termed "grain command" – dwell mainly on what made it more like any other promagistracy. Scholars tend to approach this office as if it were a kind of military command, albeit innovative. However, unlike promagistrates before him, Pompeius was endowed with the task which concerned the sphere domi. While not neglected, this aspect of Pompeius' power becomes even more significant if appr…
Leadership and Initiative in Late Republican and Early Imperial Rome
What does it mean to be a leader? This collection of seventeen studies breaks new ground in our understanding of leadership in ancient Rome by re-evaluating the difference between those who began a political action and those who followed or reacted. In a significant change of approach, this volume shifts the focus from archetypal “leaders” to explore the potential for individuals of different ranks, social statuses, ages, and genders to seize ini…
Omnes Qvi SVNT Eivs Ordinis a Pompeio Evocantvr
In his Bellum Ciuile , Caesar reports the events of 1 January 49 with these words (1.3.1): misso ad uesperum senatu omnes qui sunt eius ordinis a Pompeio euocantur. laudat Pompeius atque in posterum confirmat, segniores castigat atque incitat. When the Senate had been dismissed towards dusk, all who belonged to that order were summoned by Pompeius. He praised the determined and encouraged them for the future while criticizing and stirring up thos…
Lictoresque habent in urbe et Capitolio privati
In his Bellum Civile, Caesar reports the misuse of lictors by privati within the city of Rome (in urbe) in 49 b.c. (1.6.5–7). This paper argues that privati here refers to promagistrates, and the passage is better understood in the broader context of the direct personal interference of promagistrates in the sphere domi
From privatus to magistratus
The position of a magistratus designatus may be described as ‘intermediate’ between that of a privatus and a magistratus. Designati could enjoy prominent political standing, but there is no secure evidence that they were able to use magisterial powers. This paper seeks to demonstrate in particular that designati could not issue edicts, despite the long-term scholarly tradition suggesting otherwise. This conclusion corresponds to the view that des…
Better than (when) a Magistrate? Caesar’s Suspension from Magisterial Functions in 62 bc
According to Suetonius, in 62 bc the praetor Caesar was ‘banished from the administration of the state’ and left the forum. A spontaneous gathering ( coetus ) offered him help in recovering his position. Unexpectedly he restrained the crowd, and the grateful senate itself restored him to his rank. Even though only Suetonius explicitly mentions Caesar’s suspension, in fact, all our sources allow this. I will argue that Caesar did not lose his magi…
