A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology (ed. William Smith), Deio'tarus (search)
d Hieras, emissaries of Deiotarus, were at Rome to look after his interests (Cic. pro Deiot. 14, 15); and they were still there in the following year, B. C. 44, when Hieras, after the murder of Caesar, appears to have obtained from Antony, through Fulvia, the restitution of his master's dominions for 10,000 sestertia (88,541l. 13s. 4d.). Deiotarus, however, had seized by force on the territory in question as soon as he heard of Caesar's death. (Cic. Phil. 2.37, ad Att. 14.12, 19, 16.3.) In B. C. 42, he joined the party of Brutus and Cassius at the request of the former, and after Cassius had vainly endeavoured to attach him to them. (D. C. 47.24.) He was succeeded by Deiotarus II. (No. 2), his only surviving son, all the rest of his children having been put to death by him, according to Plutarch, in order that his kingdom in the hands of his successor might not be shorn of its power. (Plut. de Stoic. Repugn. 32.) This account, if true, warns us to make a large deduction from the prais

Fa'nnius 7. FANNIUS, one of the commanders under Cassius, in B. C. 42. (Appian, App. BC 4.72.) He may be the same as the C. Fannius mentioned by Josephus (J. AJ 14.10.15), who, however, describes him as strathgo\s u=patos, the last of which words is probably incorrect.

Flaccus, Norba'nus 1. C. Norbanus Flaccus. In B. C. 42 he and Decidius Saxa were sent by Octavian and Antony with eight legions into Macedonia, and thence they proceeded to Philippi to operate against Brutus and Cassius. They encamped in the neighbourhood of Philippi, and occupied a position which prevented the republicans advancing any further. By a stratagem of Brutus and Cassius, Norbanus was led to quit his position, but he discovered his mistake in time to recover his former position. The republicans advancing by another and longer road, Norbanus withdrew with his army towards Amphipolis, and the republicans, without pursuing Norbanus, encamped near Philippi. When Antony arrived, he was glad to find that Amphipolis was secured, and having strengthened its garrison under Norbanus, he proceeded to Philippi. In B. C. 38, C. Norbanus Flaccus was consul with App. Claudius Pulcher. The C. Norbanus Flaccus, who was consul B. C. 24 with Octavian, was probably a son of the one here spoken

should immediately and unconditionally resign his proconsulship of Gaul. (Cic. Fam. 8.10.) After the breaking out of the civil war, he was sent by Caesar with letters to Cicero in March, B. C. 49. (Cic. Att. 9.6, 11, 7.19.) Cicero recommended Furnius to L. Munatius Plancus [PLANCUS], at that time, B. C. 43, proconsul in Transalpine Gaul (ad Fam. 10.1, 3, 4, 6, 8, 11, 12), and he was legatus to Plancus during the first war between Antony and Augustus, and until after the battle of Philippi, B. C. 42. During the war between Antony and the senate, Furnius apprised Cicero of the movements and sentiments of the Roman legions and commanders in Gaul and Spain, but his letters have not been preserved. (Ad Fam. x.) In the Perusine war, B. C. 41-2, Furnius took part with L. Antonius. [ANTONIUS, No. 14.] He defended Sentinum in Umbria against Augustus, and shared the sufferings of the " Perusina Fames." Furnius was one of three officers commissioned by L. Antonius to negotiate the surrender of P

r the battle of Actium, this must be conclusive for the later date. To avoid this objection, Bentley suggested a former division, made in the year of Horace 31 (30), B. C. 35. But as seven full, and nearer eight years (septimus octavo propior jam fugcrit annus) had elapsed when that Satire was written, since his introduction to Maecenas, to which must be added nine months between the first introduction and the intimate friendship, the introduction is thrown up before the battle of Philippi, B. C. 42, and we have besides this to find time for Horace to acquire his poetic fame, to form his friendships with Virgil and Varius, &c. The only way to escape, if we refer the division to that suggested by Bentley, is to suppose that it was promised in B. C. 35, but not fulfilled till several years later; but this is improbable in any way, and hardly reconcileable with the circumstances of that division in the historians. It is quite impossible to date the publication of this book earlier than th

ter, who was poisoned by Malichus, and again in the vengeance exacted for his death by Herod, who caused Malichus to be assassinated almost before the eves of Hvrcanus. (J. AJ 14.5-9, 11, B. JJ. 1.8-11.) From this time forth Hyrcanus bestowed upon the youthful Herod the same favour, and conceded to him the same unlimited influence that had been enjoyed by his father, Antipater: he also betrothed to the young prince his grand-daughter, the beautiful Mariamne. When the battle of Philippi (B. C. 42) had rendered M. Antony supreme arbiter of the affairs of the East, both Hyrcanus and Herod hastened to pay their court to him, and obtained from him the confirmation of their power. It was not long, however, before this was suddenly overthrown from an unexpected quarter. Pacorus, the son of the Parthian king Orodes I., had invaded Syria with a mighty army (B. C. 40), and overrun a great part of that province, when Antigonus, the surviving son of Aristobulus, applied to him for aid in recov

Labie'nus 3. Q. Labienus, the son of the preceding, joined the party of Brutus and Cassius after the murder of Caesar (B. C. 44), and was sent by them into Parthia to seek aid from Orodes, the Parthian king. [ARSACES XIV.] Here he remained for a considerable time, and before he could obtain any definite answer from Orodes, the news came of the battle of Philippi (B. C. 42). Seeing that the triumvirs were resolved to spare none of their opponents, Labienus made up his mind to continue in Parthia; but circumstances soon occurred which enabled him to take revenge upon the victorious party. The attention of Octavian was filly engaged by the affairs of Italy and the war against Sex. Pompey; and Antony, to whom the government of the East had devolved, had retired to Egypt, captivated by the charms of Cleopatra, and careless about every thing else. Labienus persuaded Orodes to embrace this favourable opportunity for the invasion of the Roman provinces in Asia; and accordingly the Parthian ki

ng struggle between the triumvirs and the senate; and with this he seems to have been contented, for he never displayed any love of enterprise. In the proscription-lists which were published on the return of the triumvirs to Rome, Lepidus placed the name of his own brother Paullus, as has been already related. [See above, p. 766a.] Shortly afterwards, on the 31st of December, Lepidus celebrated a triumph as a consequence of the supplicatio which the senate had voted a year previously. In B. C. 42 Lepidus remained in Rome as consul and in the fresh division of the provinces, made between Octavian and Antony, after the battle of Philippi at the close of this year, Lepidus was deprived of his provinces, under the pretext of his having had treasonable intercourse with Sex. Pompey; but it was arranged that, in case he should be proved innocent of the crime laid to his charge, he should receive Africa as a compensation for the provinces taken from him: so soon did Octavian and Antony make

d them so unmercifully that the booty was said to amount to 8500 talents. This immense sum only whetted still more the appetite of Cassius, and accordingly, on his return to Asia, he imposed upon the province a ten years' tribute, which was to be raised immediately. Meanwhile, the colleague of Cassius, M. Brutus, was employed in the same way in robbing the towns of Lycia; and the liberators of the Roman world made it pay very dearly for its freedom. At the beginning of the following year, B. C. 42, Brutus and Cassius met again at Sardis, where their armies greeted them with the title of imperators. Here they had some serious differences, and were nearly coming to an open rupture; but the common danger to which they were exposed produced a reconciliation between them. They crossed over the Hellespont, marched through Thrace, and finally took up their position near Philippi in Macedonia. Here Antony also soon appeared with his army, and Octavian followed ten days afterwards. Brutus and

Luci'lius 5. LUCILIUS, fought on the side of Brutus at the battle of Philippi, B. C. 42, and when the republican army was in flight and the enemy had nearly overtaken Brutus, he represented himself to be the latter in order to save his friend. He was brought before M. Antony, who was so struck with his magnanimity, that he not only forgave him, but treated him ever afterwards as one of his most intimate friends. (Appian, App. BC 4.129; Plut. Brut. 50, Anton. 69.)
