Calēnus, Q. Fufius

A tribune of the plebs, B.C. 61, when he succeeded in saving P. Clodius (q. v.) from condemnation for his violation of the mysteries of the Bona Dea. In 59, he was praetor, and from this time appears as an active partisan of Caesar, in whose service he remained until Caesar's death (B.C. 44). After this event Calenus joined M. Antonius, and subsequently had the command of Antony's legions in the north of Italy. He died in 41.
