He was about 104 BC, tribune of the people and no later than 96 BC, praetor, as he applied for the consulate 93 BC. But he was beaten there by Marcus Herennius and only two years later, 91 BC, was elected consul. Philip turned against the reform proposals of the tribune Marcus Livius Drusus and declared as Augur its legislative initiatives invalid.

While Philip was of popular rule of Cinna 86 BC, censor and shut his uncle Appius Claudius Pulcher from the Senate from. Otherwise he talked with political activities but returned and entered 82 BC Sulla over, for which he won as a legacy the province Sardinia, where he killed the praetor Quintus Antonius Balbus Populares. He was one of the leading senators in the period after Sulla's resignation and death to about 76 BC

His son of the same was 56 BC Consul.
