Upon leaving office, Plautius obtains the praetorship in 55 and 54 BC. -VS. He must take the consulate in 52 BC. -VS. , for which he is one of Pompey's candidates. Publius Clodius was assassinated by Milo, an enemy of Plautius on January 18, 52 BC.. -VS. Pompey is appointed sole consul to restore order and security in Rome, where rival gangs clash. It is Metellus Scipio, son-in-law of Pompey, who shares the consulship. Publius Plautius Hypsaeus is discarded and rejected by Pompey, his former ally, before being condemned and exiled.
