A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology (ed. William Smith), Acidi'nus (search)
Acidi'nus 4. ACIDINUS, a young man who was going to pursue his studies at Athens at the same time as young Cicero, B. C. 45. (Cic. Att. 12.32.) He is perhaps the same Acidinus who sent intelligence to Cicero respecting the death of Marcellus. (Cic. Fam. 4.12.)
A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology (ed. William Smith), Anti'pater (search)
Anti'pater 2. Of TYRE, likewise a Stoic philosopher, but unquestionably of a later date than the former, though Vossius (de Hist. Gr. p. 392, ed. Westermann) confounds the two. He lived after, or was at least younger than, Panaetius, and Cicero (de Off. 2.24), in speaking of him, says, that he died lately at Athens, which must mean shortly before B. C. 45. From this passage we must infer that Antipater wrote a work on Duties (de Officiis,) and Diogenes Laertius (7.139, 140, 142, 148) refers to a work of Antipater on the Universe (peri\ ko/smou), of which he quotes the eighth book. [L.S]
A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology (ed. William Smith), Appuleius (search)
Appuleius 5. M. Appuleius, was elected augur in B. C. 45, and Cicero pleaded illness as a reason for his absence from the inaugural festival, which seems to have lasted several days. (Cic. Att. 12.13-15.) At the time of Caesar's death, B. C. 44. Appuleius seems to have been quaestor in Asia; and when Brutus crossed over into Greece and Asia, he assisted him with money and troops. (Cic. Phil. 10.11, 13.16; Appian, App. BC 3.63, 4.75.) He was proscribed by the triumvirs, B. C. 43, and fled to Brutus, who placed him over Bithynia. After the death of Brutus, B. C. 42, he surrendered the province to Antony, and was restored by him to his native country. (Appian, App. BC 4.46.)
A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology (ed. William Smith), (search)
A'quila, L. Po'ntius tribune of the plebs, probably in B. C. 45, was the only member of the college that did not rise to Caesar as he passed by the tribunes' seats in his triumph. (Suet. Jul. Caes. 78.) He was one of Caesar's murderers, and afterwards served as a legate of Brutus at the beginning of B. C. 43 in Cisalpine Gaul. He defeated T. Munatius Plancus, and drove him out of Pollentia, but was killed himself in the battle fought against Antony by Hirtius. He was honoured with a statue. (Appian, App. BC 2.113; D. C. 46.38, 40; Cic. Phil. 11.6, 13.12, ad Fam. 10.33.) Pontius Aquila was a friend of Cicero, and is frequently mentioned by him in his letters. (Ad Fam. 5.2-4, 7.2, 3.)
A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology (ed. William Smith), Ariara'thes (search)
pp. BC 5.7; D. C. 49.32; V. Max. 9.15, ex. 2.) Clinton makes this Ariarathes the son of Ariobarzanes III. (whom he calls the second); but as there were three kings of the name of Ariobarzanes, grandfather, son, and grandson [ARIOBARZANES], and Strabo (xii. p.540) says that the family became extinct in three generations, it seems most probable, that this Ariarathes was a brother of Ariobarzanes III. Cicero (Cic. Att. 13.2) speaks of an Ariarathes, a son of Ariobarzanes, who came to Rome in B. C. 45; but there seems no reason to believe that he was a different person from the one mentioned above, the son of Ariobarzanes II. Respecting the kings of Cappadocia, see Clinton, F. H. vol. iii. Appendix, 100.9. The four coins that have been given above, have been placed under those kings to whom they are usually assigned; but it is quite uncertain to whom they really belong. The coins of these kings bear only three surnames, *E*U*S*E*B*O*U*S, *E*P*I*F*A*N*O*U*S, and *F*I*L*O*M*H*T*O*R*O*S

unable to bear the fatigues connected with such an expedition. On his return Caesar distinguished him, nevertheless, with military honours, and in his triumph allowed Augustus to ride on horseback behind his triumphal car. In the year following (B. C. 45), when Caesar went to Spain against the sons of Pompey, Augustus, who had then completed his seventeenth year, was to have accompanied his uncle, but was obliged to remain behind on account of illness, but soon joined him with a few companions. ould render him a worthy successor to himself : he constantly kept him about his person, and while he was yet in Spain he is said to have made his will and to have adopted Augustus as his son, though without informing him of it. In the autumn of B. C. 45, Caesar returned to Rome with his nephew; and soon afterwards, in accordance with the wish of his uncle, the senate raised the gens Octavia, to which Augustus belonged, to the rank of a patrician gens. About the same time Augustus was betrothed

L. Bacillus praetor B. C. 45, to whom Caesar would not assign a province, but gave a sum of money instead. Bacillus felt the indignity so much, that he put an end to his life by voluntary starvation. (D. C. 43.47.) It is conjectured that Babullius, whose death Cicero mentions in this year (ad Att. 13.48), may be the same as the above.
A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology (ed. William Smith), Bae'bius (search)
Bae'bius 10. A. Baebius, a Roman eques of Asta in Spain, deserted the Pompeian party in the Spanish war, and went over to Caesar, B. C. 45. (Bell. Hisp. 26.)
A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology (ed. William Smith), Balbus (search)
see, from Cicero's letters, that Balbus was now regarded as one of the chief men in the state. He seems, however, to have used his good fortune with moderation, and never to have been deserted by the prudence which had always been one of his chief characteristics. We are therefore disposed to reject the tale, which is related only by Suetonius (Suet. Jul. 78) and Plutarch (Plut. Caes. 60), that Balbus prevented Caesar from rising to receive the senate on his return from the Spanish war, in B. C. 45. On the murder of Caesar in March, 44, Balbus was placed in a somewhat critical position. He retired from the city, and spent two months in the country, and was one of the first who hastened to meet young Octavianus at Neapolis. During this time, he frequently saw Cicero, who believed that his professions to Octavianus were hollow, and that he was in reality the friend of Antony. In this, however, Cicero was mistaken; Balbus, whose good fortune it always was to attach himself to the winni
