Scae'vola, Mu'cius
2. Q.
Mucius Scaevola, the son of Publius, was praetor in B. C. 215, in the consulship of C. Postumius Albinus III. and T. Sempronius Gracchus: he had Sardinia for his province (
Liv. 23.24,
30), where he fell sick (100.34, 40). His command in Sardinia was prolonged for the two following years (
Liv. 24.9,
44), and again for another year (
Liv. 25.3): nothing is recorded of his operations.
This appears to be the Mucius who is mentioned by Pomponius (
Dig. 1. tit. 2. s. 2.37), if Mucius is the right reading there (comp.
Liv. 21.18; Gellius,
10.27; Florus,
2.6). Quintus was decemvir sacrorum, and died in B. C. 209. (
Liv. 27.8.)
