Acco
a chief of the Senones in Gaul, who induced his countrymen to revolt against Caesar, B. C. 53. On the conclusion of the war Acco was put to death by Caesar. (Bell. Gall. 6.4, 44.)
Arru'ntius
2. ARRUNTIUS, was also proscribed by the triumvirs in B. C. 43, but escaped to Pompey, and was restored to the state together with Pompey. (Appian, App. BC 4.46; Vell. 2.77.)
This is probably the same Arruntius who commanded the left wing of the fleet of Octavianus at the battle of Actium, B. C. 31. (Vell. 2.85; comp. Plut. Ant. 66.)

In the following year (B. C. 50) they again crossed the Euphrates with a much larger army, which was placed nominally under the command of Pacorus, but in reality under that of Osaces, an experienced general.

Copo'nius
5. COPONUS, was left in command of Carrae in the expedition of Crassus against the Parthians, B. C. 53. (Plut. Crass. 27.)
