demned by the lex Pedia. We find the governorship of Bithynia vacant in B.C. 41-0 [App. B. civ. 5, 63 fin.]. C. Trebonius. Killed by Dolabella in Asia B.C. 44—3, Cic. 11 Phil. §§ 1—8, 13 Phil. § 22; fam. 12, 12, 14, 15. P. Turullius commanded a ship in the fleet of Cassius B.C. 44-3 [Cic. fam. 12, 13; App. B. civ. 5, 2]. He afterwards joined Antony, but was given up to Octavian with the hope of conciliating him in B.C. 30, and was by him put to death. Dio 51, 8; Valer. Max. 1, 1, 19. Besides these, who seem to have taken an active part in the assassination, Plutarch says that Gaius Octavius and Lentulus Spinther joined them on their way up to the Capitol, feigning to have been in the plot [Plut. Caes. 67, cp. Cic. 2 Phil. § 25] Appian [B. civ. 2, 119] adds to this category Favonius, Aquinius, Dolabella, Murcus and Patiscus. Of these Gaius Octavius is unknown to us. P. Cornelius Lentulus Spinther, though he thus openly joined the conspirators [Cic. Att. 13, 10; fam. 12, 14], and served at Philippi, managed to escape, and was alive at least up to B.C. 27 [Eckhel 5, p. 185]. M. Favonius was executed after Philippi [Dio 47, 49: see note on p. 27]. Aquinius may be the M. Aquinius pardoned by Iulius in B.C. 47 [bell. Afric. 57, 89], but we have no account of him after that. Dolabella took advantage of the murder of Iulius to assume the consulship, but he soon showed by his execution of Trebonius in Asia that he was not at one with the assassins. He was driven to suicide in Syria by Cassius, B.C. 43. How far he did at first openly connect himself with the assassins is not clear, but for some time Cicero was thoroughly satisfied with his speeches and actions [Cic. Att. 14, 20—21; 15, 13; 16, 11]. L. Statius Murcus (once a legatus of Iulius) had been praetor in the year before the assassination, and if he was in Rome at the time must have been on the point of starting for his province (Syria). He afterwards did good service to the cause of Brutus and Cassius with his fleet; but joining Sextus Pompeius after Philippi he was assassinated, owing to the jealousy of Menodorus [Dio 48, 19]. Patiscus was with Cassius as pro-quaestor in command of a ship, B.C. 43 [Cic. fam. 12, 13, 15]. [1 Atia married secondly L. Marcius Philippus, see p. 17. The statement of Ovid (F. 6, 809) that Philippus married an aunt of Augustus may be accounted for perhaps if he married an elder sister of Atia first, though we have no account of such a person. However, we find he had a daughter Marcia called 'cousin' to Augustus. C. I.

Ovid's third wife was connected with Fabius Maximus, and was thus brought into connexion with certain relatives of the Emperor. Ep. ex P. 1, 2, 138.] L. Caesar b.

A.D. 48 Iunia Calvina D. Torquatus Silanus occis. A.D. 64 The last of this branch to survive was perhaps Iunia Calvina, who is mentioned as living in the time of Vespasian [see Suet. Vesp. 23]. The family of Augustus is carried on by Agrippina (1). See III. [ There is considerable difficulty as to this part of the pedigree. The two Marcellae are mentioned in inscriptions (Wilm. 351. 160), but the third marriage to Appuleius is not recorded. Tacitus (Ann. 2, 50) calls Appuleia Varilla 'a granddaughter of the sister of Augustus': but he also mentions (ib. 4, 52) a certain Claudia Pulchra as 'a cousin of Agrippina,' who must, it seems, be the daughter of one of the Marcellae.] Thus on Nero's death, in A.D. 68, all those who could trace their descent from Augustus or his sister had passed away, with the one exception of Iunia Calvina. In A.D. 7 the expected succession in the Imperial family as far as Claudius is shown by an inscription on an arch at Pavia, which includes Gaius and Lucius, who had died a few years before, Wilmanns 880: Tiberius is called AVGVSTI F. since his adoption in A.D. 4; of those named none but the last, Claudius, survived Tiberius (A.D. 37). Gaius died in A.D. 4; Lucius A.D. 3; Drusus, son of Tiberius, in A.D. 23; and Drusus, son of Germanicus, was starved to death in A.D. 33 [Tac. Ann. 6, 23—4], having been born it seems in A.D. 7 or the year previous [Tac. Ann. 4, 4]. It seems strange that his elder brother Nero b. A.D. 1, and afterwards (A.D. 20) married to Iulia daughter of Drusus s. of Tiberius, should be omitted [Tac. Ann. 3, 29]; he was starved to death in A.D. 29 [Suet. Tib. 54]. Nero and Drusus, as sons of Germanicus (adopted by Tiberius), would naturally come before their uncle Claudius. Gaius (Caligula) was not born till five years later (A.D. 12). |
