Notes:
P. Rutilius
Rufus, born c.160 BCE, consul 105 BCE. See generally Ernst Badian in OCD(4) s.v. (p.1301).
[1] Scipio
Aemilianus.
[2] In
Spain, 133 BCE.
[3] Despite the impression given by this phrase,
Rufus's lost history (written after his conviction for
repetundae, and retirement to
Smyrna, in 92) is thought to have covered not merely the Spanish campaigning but his whole adult life; and it has coloured all surviving accounts of the period. See E. Badian, 'The early historians', in T.A. Dorey (ed.),
Latin Historians (London 1966) 1-38, at 23-25.
[4] Appian,
Iberica 382 Viereck-Roos-Gabba. For
tribuni see generally
chi 305.
