According to the arguments of J. Gascou the cursus of M. Caelius Phileros (CIL, X, 6104 : Formiae ; CIL, VIII, 26274 + ILT, 1378 : Uchi Maius) unfolded under Augustus. In particular he places the office of Phileros as praefectus i. d. ca. 26 B. C., soon after Octavian gave Carthage her vast pertica. Fr. Jacques partly supports this reconstruction but suggests that Phileros might have pursued two parallel careers at Carthage and Clupea. Both views conflict with that of D. Fishwick, who dates the cursus of Phileros to the 30’ s B. C. and places the office of praefectus i. d. in the context of Lepidus’s recent assignment of the Carthaginian pertica following the amalgamation of Africa Vetus and Africa Nova. A new reading of the Uchi Maius inscription has recently lead A. Beschaouch to argue that Phileros served as praefectus i. d. in accordance with the equity of Augustus, in which case Carthage will have received her pertica when Octavian reinforced the colony in 29 B. C. D. Fishwick rejects this decipherment as illusory and without foundation. It follows that there is no obstacle to holding that Carthage received her pertica during the governorship of Lepidus, under whom Phileros served his early career
