passed between him and Cicero, in which they wrote to one another with apparent cordiality. (Cic. Fam. 5.9-11.) Vatinius was still in Illyricum at the time of Caesar's death, B. C. 44, and at the beginning of the following year was compelled to surrender Dyrrhachium and his army to Brutus who had obtained possession of Macedonia, because his troops declared in favour of Brutus (D. C. 47.21; Liv. Epit. 118; Vell. 2.69); though Cicero (Cic. Phil. 10.6) and Appian (App. BC 4.75), probably with less truth, speak of it as a voluntary act on the part of Vatinius. At any rate Vatinius did not forfeit the favour of the triumvirs ; for we learn from the Capitoline Fasti that he triumphed on the last day of December, B. C. 43. This is the last time we hear of Vatinius. (Cic. in Vatinium, passim, pro Sest. 53, 63, 65, ad Q. Fr. 2.4, 3.9.5, ad Att. 2.6, 7, Hirt. B. G. 8.46, Caes. Civ. 3.19, 100; Appian, App. Ill. 13, B. C. 4.75; D. C. 42.55, 47.21; Liv. Epit. 118; Vell. 2.69; Cic. Phil. 10.5, 6.)

s with ability, and became a favourite of his great commander. He obtained the rank of tribunus plebis, a seat in the Roman senate, and he was made a praetor for B. C. 43. After Caesar's death Bassus sided with M. Antonius in the war of Mutina (B. C. 43). During the siege of Mutina he raised two legions in the colonies of CaesarB. C. 43). During the siege of Mutina he raised two legions in the colonies of Caesar, and a third in Picenum, his native country, and he stayed there, says Appian, waiting to see how things would turn out. He afterwards conducted his legions through the Apennines without any opposition from Caesar Octavianus, who had already defeated Antonius before Mutina, and he joined Antonius at Vada Sabatia on the Ligurian cst. (Cic. Fam. 10.33 and 34, 11.10.) After the reconciliation between Antonius and Octavianus near Bononia, Ventidius was made consul suffectus with C. Carrinas (B. C. 43), Octavianus having resigned his consulship, and Q. Pedius having died. (Vell. 2.65, D. C. 47.15.) In B. C. 42 Ventidius was one of the legates of Antonius in Ga

Venuleius 3. A legatus apparently of C. Calvisius Sabinus in Africa, was deprived of his lictors by Q. Cornificius, when he took possession of the province in B. C. 43. (Cic. Fam. 12.30.7.) [Comp. Vol. III. p. 689a.]

d enough for a life of opulence, even if he were compelled to disgorge two-thirds of his plunder in stifling inquiry or purchasing an acquittal. The remainder of Verres's life is contained in the history of the Verrine orations, which we shall presently examine. On his condemnation, he retired to Marseilles, retaining so much of his ill-gotten wealth, as to render him careless of public opinion, and so many of his treasures of art, as to cause, eventually, his proscription by M. Antonius in B. C. 43. Before his death, Verres had the consolation of hearing of the murder of his great enemy Cicero, and during his long exile of twenty-seven years, had the satisfaction of witnessing from his retreat the convulsions of the republic, and the calamities of the friends who abandoned, and of the judges who convicted him. Verres married a sister of a Roman eques, Vettius Chilo (Verrin. 2.3. 71, 72), by whom he had a son, whom, at fifteen years of age, he admitted as the spectator and partner of h
A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology (ed. William Smith), Vespillo (search)
Vespillo 3. Q. Lucretius Vespillo, the son of No. 2, served in the Pompeian fleet in B. C. 48. He was proscribed by the triumvirs in B. C. 43, out more fortunate than his father, was concealed by his wife Thuria in his own house at Rome, till his friends obtained his pardon. In B. C. 20, he was one of the deputation which the senate sent to Augustus at Athens to request the latter to assume the consulship for the following year, but he declined the honour, and appointed Vespillo, who was accordingly consul with C. Sentius Saturninus in B. C. 19. (Caes. Civ. 3.7; Appian, App. BC 4.44 ; V. Max. 6.7.2; D. C. 54.10.)
A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology (ed. William Smith), Vetuli'nus (search)
Vetuli'nus was proscribed by the triumvirs in B. C. 43, and collected a considerable force in the south of Italy, with which he for a long time resisted the troops sent against him, but was at length killed when he was on the point of embarking to cross over to Messana. (Appian, App. BC 4.25.)

Vi'bia Gens plebeian. No Romans of this name are mentioned till the latter end of the republic; but we meet with several persons of the name among the Italian nations in the second Punic war. [See below, VIBIUS, Nos. 1, 2 ; VIBIUS VIRRIUS.] The first of the gens, who obtained the consulship, was C. Vibius Pansa in B. C. 43; and several Vibii appear in the Consular Fasti under the empire. Two of the Roman emperors, TREBONIANUS GALLUS and VOLUSIANUS, bore the name of Vibius. The coins of the Vibia gens have on them the surnames of Pansa and Varus. [PANSA; VARUS.]
A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology (ed. William Smith), V'nius (search)
V'nius 1. T. Vinius was proscribed by the triumvirs B. C. 43, and owed his life to his wife Tanusia, who concealed him in a chest at the house of his freedman Philopoemen, and gave out that he was dead. She afterwards obtained his pardon from Octavian, who raised Philopoemen to the equestrian rank for his fidelity to his former master. (D. C. 47.7; Suet. Oct. 27; Appian, App. BC 4.44, where Vinius is erroneously called Junius, and Philopoemen is also erroneously called Philemon.) [PHILOPOEMEN, p. 321a.]

Virgi'nius 6. VIRGINIUS, proscribed by the triumvirs B. C. 43, escaped to Sicily by promising large sums of money to his slaves, and to the soldiers who were sent to kill him. (Appian, App. BC 4.48.)
A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology (ed. William Smith), Volu'sius (search)
Volu'sius 3. M. Volusius, is mentioned by Cicero in B. C. 49 (ad Fam. 16.12). He is probably the same as the M. Volusius who was plebeian aedile in B. C. 43, and was proscribed by the triumvirs, but escaped by assuming the disguise of a priest of Isis. (V. Max. 7.3.8; Appian, App. BC 4.47.)
