Biographyedit
He possibly studied under Demetrius Lacon,[1] who may have dedicated one or two books to Nero.[2] It is also possible that the man who was friends with Lacon was his father.[3]
Tiberius served as triumvir of the mint (triumvir monetalis) in 79 BC. He minted denarii with a bust of Diana and a chariot driven by Victory. Some numismatists have explained the presence of Diana as an allusion to the Sabine origin of the gens Claudia, but Michael Crawford dismisses this theory, which comes from a mistake of Varro.[4]
Tiberius was praetor at an undetermined date in the 60s, at least before 63, and perhaps before 67, when he was given a command in the expedition of Pompey against the Cilician Pirates.[5]
Tiberius was famous for recommending that the members of the Catiline Conspiracy be confined.[6]
