The strongly anti-Caesarian attitude of Marcellus who attempted to raise the question of a successor to Caesar in Gaul was opposed both by his colleague and by Pompey (Cael. in Cic. Fam. 8. 1. 2, and 2.2, and 5.3; Cic. Fam. 4.1.1, and 2.3, and 3.1, and 9.2; Att. 8.3.3; Suet. Iul. 28-29; App. BC 2.25-26; Plut. Caes. 29; Dio 40.59.1; Eutrop. 6.19.2, and Oros. 6.15.1, who confuse the Marcelli of 51 and 50). Marcellus even went the length of scourging a citizen of Novum Comum, to show that he did not recognize Caesar's claim that they were citizens (Cic. Att. 5.2.3, and 11.2; Plut. Caes. 29.1; App. BC 2.26; cf. Suet. Iul. 28). (Broughton MRR II)

Legatus (Envoy)

(Broughton MRR II)
Expand
- In an attempt to arrange peace, the Senate, on the motion of Fulius Calenus, sent these three senior consulars as Envoys to Mark Antony to report the following terms: to cease his attack on Decimus Brutus and withdraw from Cisalpine Gaul (but stay more than 200 miles from Rome), to submit to the authority of the Senate and People, and to permit an interview with Decimus Brutus; if he failed to comply he should face a declaration of war (Cic. Phil. 6.4-5; 7.26; 9.1; 13.20; 14.20; Fam. 11. 8; 12.4. 1, and 24, and 26). Antony refused these terms and sent back with them a Legate (see below) bearing counter-proposals (Cic. Phil. 7.26; 8.1 and 15-17 and 20-28 and 32; 14.4; Fam. 12.4.1; App. BC 3.61-63; Dio 46.30). Servius Sulpicius died before reaching Antony and was honored with a public funeral and a statue (Cic. Phil. 9, passim; 8.22; 13.29; Fam. 10.28.3; 12.5.3; Jerome, Chr. ad ann. 44, p. 157 Helm; Pompon. Dig. 1.2.2.43). See D.-G. 1.181-184. (Broughton MRR II)
