C. 59</date>. During Cicero's consulship Flavus
      seconded him in his measures against Catiline (Cic. <hi rend="ital">pro Planc.</hi> 42), but
      in his tribunate he was a zealous supporter of all Caesar's acts and laws. (Cic. <hi rend="ital">pro Sest.</hi> 53; Schol. Bob. <hi rend="ital">in Sextian.</hi> p. 304, <hi rend="ital">in Vatinian.</hi> p. 324, ed. Orelli.) This seems to have cost Flavus the
      aedileship. He was, however, praetor, <date when-custom="-54">B. C. 54</date>, after at least one
      repulse. Flavus afterwards appears as quaestor, or special commissioner, at the trial of A.
      Gabinius (Cic. <hi rend="ital">ad Q. Fr.</hi> 3.1.7), and at that of Cn. Plancius (Cic. <hi rend="ital">pro Planc.</hi> 17). Cicero always speaks of Flavus as an honest and
      well-meaning, but mistaken man. </p><byline>[<ref target="author.W.B.D">W.B.D</ref>]</byline></div></div></body></text></TEI>
