woman of some property and of good family, must have taken place soon after his return to Rome, or just before his departure from the city.Tullia was betrothed in 66 B.C. Cf. Att. 1.3.3. Two years after his return, in 76 B.C., he was quaestor, and had charge of Western Sicily, with Lilybaeum as his headquarters. His achievements inhis action gave to the democratic cause does not, however, stamp him as a democrat. 5. As a candidate for the aedileship for 69 B.C., and for the praetorship for 66 B.C., Cicero led all of his rivals at the polls.in Pison. 2; de leg. Manil. 2. Both offices he filled with distinction, and although as praetor he showed, as in earlie to link his own fortunes with those of Pompey, led Cicero to approve of the Gabinian law, de leg. Manil. 52 and to lend his active support to the Manilian law in 66 B.C. In supporting the latter measure Cicero delivered his first political speech, and notwithstanding the united opposition of the Optimates, who appreciated the dan

B.C. In December of the same year he married his rich ward PubliliaPlut. Cic. 41; Cic. Fam. 4.14.1 and 3. Cf. also Schmidt, Briefw. p. 268.; but Publilia could not conceal her chagrin at finding herself second to Tullia in his affection, and when she evinced joy a few months later at Tullia's death, Cicero sent her to her mother and could not be induced to receive her back into his favor. Att. 12.32.1. Tullia. 53. Tullia, Cicero's only daughter, was probably born in 79 or 78 B.C. In 66 B.C. she was betrothed to C. Calpurnius Piso Frugi, Att. 1.3.3. and married him sometime within the next three years. He died during the year of Cicero's exile. pro Sest. 68. In 56 B.C. Tullia married Furius Crassipes. Q. fr. 2.4.2. The match was regarded as a good one, but for reasons unknown to us Crassipes and Tullia were soon divorced. Her next matrimonial venture was with P. Cornelius Dolabella, Att. 6.6.1; Fam. 8.6.1. the Caesarian politician. Their married life proved to be a most

Letter I: ad Atticum 1.1 Rome, July, 65 B.C. The tenth letter of the extant correspondence; the earlier letters being Att. 1.5, 6, 7 (68 B.C.); 9, 8, 10, 11 (67 B.C.); 3, 4 (66 B.C.). The letter is interesting for the light which it throws in general upon methods of electioneering at Rome, and in particular upon Cicero's political plans and prospects a year before the elections at which he intended to be a candidate for the consulship. On the elections, cf. also Herzog, 1. pp. 654-661. Cicnimi, nulla corporis, frons non percussa, non femur. Cicero speaks of Caesonius in a very different way in Verr. 1.29 homo in rebus iudicandis spectatus et cognitus. Aquilium: sc. competitorem fore. C. Aquilius Gallus was praetor with Cicero in 66 B.C. iuravit morbum: the simple acc. after iurare is rare. The phrase is probably a legal one; cf. Fam. 8.8.3 cum calumniam iurasset. Iurare morbum means to take an oath that one is ill as an excuse for the non-performance of some duty. regnum iudic

nte: sc. te videro; cf. quam vellem, I n. ille meat magistratum: Clodius would become tribune in December. puto Pompeium, etc.: 'I think that if you are here, while Crassus is urging Pompey on, you, who can find out from the prime mover himself through her of the ox-eyes, with how much sincerity the triumvirs are acting, I think, I say, that we shall be either free from annoyance or at least from misconceptions.' Crasso urgente: the dislike which Crassus felt for Cicero seems to date from 66 B.C. , when Cicero, in his speech for the Manilian law, by exaggerating the part which Pompey had played in certain matters, had belittled the achievements of Crassus. An apparent, not a real, reconciliation took place in the senate in 61 B.C. (cf. Ep. V.5n; XIII. 2). Another open quarrel between the two men occurred in 54 B.C. ; cf. Fam. 1.9.20. bow=pis: Clodia, the sister of Clodius. This epithet of Hera as applied to her has a double meaning. On the one hand, as with Hera, the brilliancy of

crudelissimeque dixit, ita maxime ab inimicis Caesaris collaudatur, and according to Dio Cassius 41.3 the consul Lentulus went so far as to summon them u(pecelqei=n pri\n ta\s yh/fous dienexqh=nai. The principle that the tribune could not be held responsible for his official acts seems to have been first called into question in the year 98 B.C. , in the case of C. Furius, who had been tribune in the preceding year, and similar prosecutions occurred in the years 94 B.C. , 86 B.C. , 74 B.C. , 66 B.C. , and 65 B.C. (cf. Herzog, 1.1167 ff.; Madvig, Verf. u. Verw. 1.467). The case before us would seem to have been the first instance when an attempt was made to hold a tribune accountable during his term of office. As Caesar puts it, de sua salute septimo die (of the calendar year) cogitare coguntur, B. C. 1.5. Cf. also Appian, Bell. Civ. 2.33. Cicero's words, therefore, nulla vi expulsi, while technically true, misrepresent the real state of the case. It was this infringement of the rig
