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.)
There was a L. Arruntius, consul in B. C. 22 (
D. C. 54.1), who appears to be the same person as the one mentioned above, and may perhaps also be the same as the L. Arruntius, the friend of Trebatius, whom Cicero mentions (
ad Fam. 7.18) in B. C. 53.
