praetor, proconsul (Asiae)
Remarks: He was the consul of the year 95 B.C., proconsul of Asia in 97 B.C. (OGIS 437; 439).
The date of his proconsulate in Asia has been put in 94 B.C., one year after his
consulate, by E. Badian, "Q. Mucius Scaevola and the province of Asia", Athenaeum
N.S. 34, 1956, 104-123. Broughton, Magistrates III, 145-146 argues that Mucius
Scaevola was governor of Asia as a praetorian province in 98 or 97 B.C., while J.-
L. Ferrary, "Les gouverneurs des provinces romaines d'Asie Mineure (Asie et
Cilicie), depuis l'organisation de la province d'Asie jusqu' à la première guerre de
Mithridate (126-88 av. J.-C", Chiron 30, 2000, 192 puts his tenure of office in 99 or
98 or 97 B.C. About this figure see also F. Münzer-B. Kubier, RE XVI 1 (1933) 437-
446, s.v. Mucius [22]; Broughton, Magistrates I (no. 22) 546; 553; 575. II 4. 7. 11.
