Career

  • Tribunus Plebis 44 (Broughton MRR II) Expand
    • He and his colleague C. Epidius Marullus (see below) removed a diadem from Caesar's statue and were imprisoned. They also prosecuted persons who had saluted Caesar as king when he returned to Rome from the Latin festival. They were deprived of their tribunician power (not the office) under a bill of C. Helvius Cinna (see below), while other Tribunes were elected in their place (Cic. Phil. 13.31; Nic. Dam. Vit. Caes. 20.5-9, FGrH 2A.404f.; Liv. Per. 116; Vell. 2.68.4-5; Val. Max. 5.7.2; Suet. Iul. 79-80; Plut. Caes. 61.4-5; Ant. 12.4; Dio 44.9-10; 46.49.2; App. BC 2.108, and 122, and 138; Obseq. 70; Zonar. 10.11). They were restored soon afterwards, probably after Caesar's death (Nic. Dam. Vit. Caes. 22, FGrH 2A.406; App. BC 2.122; see Praetors, on Cinna). (Broughton MRR II)
