[1] An inscription from Pietas Julia in Istria, erected by one Gaius Precius Felix Napolitanus, provides us many details of his cursus honorum, although not in chronological order.
His next documented office was military tribune of Legio XIV Gemina, at the time stationed at Moguntiacum in Germania Superior.
Of the traditional Republican cursus, only the offices of plebeian tribune and praetor are recorded in this inscription, but one can assume that he had also been quaestor.
One office Hister held not specifically named in the Istrian inscription was governor of the imperial province of Pannonia; Tacitus is our source for this fact.
Although the emperor Claudius declined to intervene in this conflict, he gave orders to Hister to have his legions and some picked Auxiliaries encamped on the banks of the Danube "as a support to the conquered and a terror to the conqueror, who might otherwise, in the elation of success, disturb the peace of our empire.
