Pseudo123 Posted January 23, 2022 Report Share Posted January 23, 2022 Hi. I wondered what was the name of the Senatus consulte (or the law) which gave Pompey his command against Sertorius. Same for Crassus vs Spartacus. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pompieus Posted January 25, 2022 Report Share Posted January 25, 2022 (edited) Both were appointed to the commands by the senate. Pompieus on a motion by L Marcius Philippus (cos 91) though he had held no magistracy and was still an eques. (Plutarch Pomp 17, Cicero Leg Man 62, Phil 11) Crassus either as praetor or proconsul (it's not clear if he was praetor in 73 or 72). (Plut Crassus 10, Appian BC 118, 121) Edited January 25, 2022 by Pompieus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
