Such were the former aedile Publius Antistius, the father-in-law of Gnaeus Pompeius, and the former praetor Gaius Carbo, son of the well-known friend and subsequent opponent of the Gracchi, since the death of so many men of more distinguished talent the two best orators in the judicial courts of the desolated Forum; the consular Lucius Domitius, and above all the venerable -pontifex maximus- Quintus Scaevola, who had escaped the dagger of Fimbria only to bleed to death during these last throes of the revolution in the vestibule of the temple of Vesta entrusted to his guardianship.
The first honorable office he aspired to was that of aedile, which he carried against twelve competitors of such merit, that all of them in process of time were consuls.
To have "held office" under Vespasian he must have been quaestor; to have been "promoted" by Titus he must have been aedile; and as for his further advancement we know that he was praetor under Domitian. Fast. v. 65-6.
'I mean, what you would leave me if I played often with you; and that is nothing. Clodius answered only by a smile of disdain. 'If Arbaces were not so rich, said Pansa, with a stately air, 'I should stretch my authority a little, and inquire into the truth of the report which calls him an astrologer and a sorcerer.

The number of his adherents that perished was over three hundred, and it was noted that not one of these was slain by the sword. Their bodies were thrown into the Tiber not by the mob but by the magistrates; the hand of an aedile committed that of Tiberius to the stream.
"We are here," said Agrius, "for the same reason that you are, I imagine because the Sacristan has invited us to dinner. If this be true, as your nod admits, wait with us until he returns, for he was summoned by his chief, the aedile, and has not yet returned though he left word for us to wait for him."
After this the election of praetors was held. The persons appointed were, Caius Servilius, Marcus Caecilius Metellus, Titus Claudius Asellus, and Quintus Mamilius Turinus, who was at that time plebeian aedile.
He was somewhat astonished not to find these city authorities there, and as the Aedile was president of the theatre, they could not begin before he came.
