In 142 P. Scipio Aemilianus when censor had deprived Ti. Claudius Asellus of his public horse. Afterward this man as tribune of the plebs brought against him an accusation for malversation in his censorship; Gell. iii. 4. 1; cf. ii. 20. 6. It was a finable case (ibid. vi. 11. 9), in which was charged against him a lustrum malum infelixque; Lucilius, in Gell. iv. 17. 1; cf. Cic. Orat. ii. 64. 258; 66. 268. The prosecution probably failed; Lange, Röm. Alt. ii. 591; Mommsen, Röm. Staatsr. ii. 322, n. 4.
