Macer, Ma'rcius

was a captain of gladiators in Otho's army, A. D. 69. Ascending the stream of the Po with a detachment of the Ravenna fleet, Macer drove the Vitellians from the left bank of the river, but shortly before the final defeat of his party at Bedriacum was himself repulsed, and displaced by Otho from his command. Macer's name was erased by Vitellius from the list of supplementary consuls for A. D. 69. (Tac. Hist. 2.23, 35, 36, 71.) Plutarch (Plut. Oth. 10) mentions Otho's gladiators, but not the name of their leader.

William Smith. A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology. London. John Murray: printed by Spottiswoode and Co., New-Street Square and Parliament Street. In the article on Soranus, we find: "at this present time (1848)" and this date seems to reflect the dates of works cited. 1873 - probably the printing date.
