Description: [APh] [Comment] Cicero, resp. 6, 12, may imply that moves were afoot to make Scipio Aemilianus a dictator prior to his death in 129 B.C. This interpretation may be defended, as well as the likelihood that Cicero wanted to signal his support for an office such as the traditional dictatorship in dealing with the political troubles of contemporary Rome.
