Offices of 'curator viarum' near Rome were usually entrusted to equestrians, but the other references are hard to interpret. The combination of the senatorial 'aedilicius curulis', with the apparitorial 'viator quaestorius ab aerarius' is odd. Also the sequence equestrian office - senatorial magistracy - apparitorial function is unusual. For a overview of the arguments see PIR² M 345. His office as 'tribunus fabrum navalium' may not have been specifically connected to the 'corpus', as Waltzing thought (1895: II, 350-356). No other inscription ever connects a tribunate to a 'collegium'. Most likely the tribuneship was a public office overseeing the shipwrights. For a discussion of his connection to the 'fabri navales' see Tran 2006: 313-314 possibly identical to the Martius Philippus mentioned in CIL 06, 41261</div> |
