Quintus Mucius Scaevola (consul 174 BC)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Quintus Mucius Scaevola (/ˈsvələ, ˈsɛv-/ SE(E)V-ə-lə; fl. early 2nd century BC) was a politician of the Roman Republic, believed to be the son of his namesake who was praetor in 215 BC.[1] He was made praetor in 179 BC, and became governor of Sicily. In 174 BC, he was made consul, and in 171 BC, tribune. In this latter position, he accompanied his brother-in-law Publius Licinius Crassus on campaign against Perseus of Macedonia.[citation needed]

His son was Quintus Mucius Scaevola Augur (c. 159 – 88 BC), much younger than his cousins.
