  • Septemvir Agris Dividendis 44 (Broughton MRR II) Expand
    • Antony and Dolabella carried about mid-June a bill to establish a commission of seven (Cic. Att. 15.19.2; Phil. 5.21; 8.26; 12.23) with L. Antonius as chairman to divide all available public land among veteran soldiers and needy citizens (Cic. Phil. 5.7; Dio 45.9.1; cf. Cic. Att. 15.12.2, and 15.1, and 17.1, and 19.2; 16.3.1; Phil. 5.20; 7.17; 13.37; on Antony and Dolabella, see Phil. 5.33; 11.13; on L.

Antonius, Att. 15.19.2, which is against including him. Saxa and Cafo had received lands in Campania, and Saxa was a skilled surveyor who expected to use his art, Cic. Phil. 8. 9 and 26; 10. 22; 11. 12 and 37; 12.20; and on Saxa also Phil. 2.99; 11.13; 13.2 and 27; 14.10; on both, see Syme, JRS 27 [1937] 127-137; and D.-G. 1.83, note 4). The law was declared invalid on January 4, 43, by decree of the Senate on the ground that it was carried by force (Cic. Phil. 5.7 and 2 1 ; 6.14:; 11. 13). (Broughton MRR II)
  • Legatus (Lieutenant) 43 Gallia Cisalpina (Broughton MRR II) Expand
    • No title preserved. He brought a legion to Antony at Mutina (Cic. Phil. 3.3 1) and actively aided him there (Phil. 10. 2 1; 11. 10; 12.14 and 20 and 26; 13.4 and 26 and 37), and held command at Mutina while Antony fought at Forum Gallorum (Dio 46.37.1; Zonar. 10.14; cf. Cic. Phil. 14.28 and 37). He is blamed for the mistreatment of Parma (Cic. Phil. 14.8-9; cf. Fam. 11. 13b; 10.33.4). During the retreat he ranged in advance with the cavalry and secured the crossing to Forum Iulii (Cic. Fam. 10.15.3, and 33.4, and 34.1). (Broughton MRR II)

Antonius celebrated a triumph ex Alpibus on January 1 (Act. Tr.; Fast. Barb.; Dio 48.4). Incited by Antony's wife Fulvia, he soon clashed with Octavian regarding the confiscation of lands in cities of Italy and their distribution among veterans. After first attempting to maintain the interest of his brother in the settlement of veterans he later claimed to be a protector of the towns, and a champion of the rights of the Consuls against the Triumvir Octavian. Several attempts at agreement with Octavian, mainly caused by pressure from the soldiers, proved ineffectual, and war broke out, with L. Antonius by the end of the year tightly besieged in Perusia awaiting the hesitant help of the forces under the various Antonian commanders in Italy (App. BC 4.12-34; Dio 48.5-14; cf. Liv. Per. 125-126; Vell. 2.74.2-3; Suet. Aug. 13-14; Plut. Ant. 30.1; Flor. 2.16; Eutrop. 7.3.4; Oros. 6.18.17-18; see below, Promagistrates, on Asinius Pollio, Munatius Plancus, and Ventidius Bassus). Meantime Servilius remained quietly in the background (Dio 48.13.4). (Broughton MRR II)

    • After his surrender at Perusia he and his immediate companions were spared (App. BC 5.34-49; Dio 48.14.3; cf. Vell. 2.74.4; Suet. Aug. 14-15; Flor. 2.16; Eutrop. 7.3). Later in the year Octavian sent him to a command in Spain (his title is not preserved; see App. BC 5.53; and Ganter 14f.). He is not mentioned again. See below, on en. Domitius Calvinus; and Legates, on Livius and Peducacus. (Broughton MRR II)
