no footnotes date March 2012 Aulus Caecina Alienus , Roman general, was born in Vicetia modern Vicenza . He was quaestor of Hispania Baetica southern Iberian Peninsula Iberia in 68 AD 68 . On the death of Nero , he attached himself to Galba , who appointed him to the command of Legio IV Macedonica at Mogontiacum in Germania Superior Upper Germany . Having been prosecuted for embezzlement embezzling public money, Caecina went over to Vitellius , who sent him with a large army into Italy. Caecina crossed the Alps, but was defeated near Cremona by Gaius Suetonius Paulinus Suetonius Paulinus , the chief general of Otho . Subsequently, in conjunction with Fabius Valens , Caecina defeated Otho at the decisive battle of Bedriacum Betriacum . The incapacity of Vitellius tempted Vespasian to take up arms against him. Caecina, who had been entrusted with the repression of the revolt, turned traitor, and tried to persuade his army to go over to Vespasian, but was thrown into chains by the soldiers. After the overthrow of Vitellius, he was released, and taken into favor by the new emperor. But he could not remain loyal to anyone. In 79 he was implicated, along with Titus Clodius Eprius Marcellus Eprius Marcellus , in a conspiracy against Vespasian, and was put to death by order of Titus . Caecina is described by Tacitus as a man of handsome presence and boundless ambition, a gifted orator and a great favourite with the soldiers.

Aulus Licinius Archias fl. ca. 120 BC 61 BC was a Roman Greece Greek poet born in Antioch in Syria modern Antakya in Turkey . In 102 BC, his reputation having been already established, especially as an improvisatore , he went to Rome , where he was well received amongst the highest and most influential families. His chief patron was Lucullus , whose gentile name he assumed. In 93 BC he visited Sicily with his patron, on which occasion he received the Roman citizen citizenship of Heraclea Lucania Lucanian Heraclea , one of the federate towns, and indirectly, by the provisions of the Lex Plautia Papiria , that of Rome. In 62 BC he was accused by a certain Gratius of having assumed the citizenship illegally and Cicero successfully defended him in his speech Pro Archia . This speech, which furnishes nearly all the information concerning Archias, states that he had celebrated the deeds of Gaius Marius and Lucullus in the Cimbrian wars Cimbrian and Mithridatic Wars , and that he was engaged upon a poem of which the events of Cicero s consul ship formed the subject. The Greek Anthology contains thirty five epigram s under the name of Archias, but it is doubtful how many of these if any are his work. wikisourcelang el References Steven M.

Seneca the Younger Seneca , however, tells us that he most likely incurred Sejanus displeasure for criticising him, because Sejanus had commissioned a statue of himself.

His first known post is that of praetorian legate in Asia Roman province Asia sometime during Domitian s reign. He went on to command a Legion in the years 94 97 and became consul First Consul shortly after, in the year 99. In that same year Cornelius Palma went to Spain to take up the position of governor of Hispania Citerior . A short time later, he became the governor of Syria and under emperor Trajan , annexed Nabatea in the year 106, helping to create the Roman province of Arabia Petraea . In 109, he briefly regained his consulship. Cornelius Palma seems to have been valued by Trajan for his administrative and military skills. This closeness to the emperor may have been a deciding factor in his execution by Hadrian in the year 117, following the death of the emperor.

In 74 BC he accused his stepfather Statius Albius Oppianicus of an attempt to poison him had it been successful, the property of Cluentius would have fallen to his mother Sassia. Oppianicus was found guilty. It is almost certain that both sides attempted to bribe the jury Cicero, In Verrem II . The case became notorious as an example of a prosecutor obtaining a guilty verdict through his money. In 66 BC, Sassia induced her stepson Oppianicus to charge Cluentius with having poisoned the elder Oppianicus. The prosecutor in the trial was Titus Accius . The defense was undertaken by Cicero his extant speech s la Pro Aulo Cluentio Habito Pro Cluentio , written up after the trial, is regarded as a model of oratory and Latin prose. Cluentius was acquitted and Cicero subsequently boasted that he had thrown dust in the eyes of the jury ... se tenebras iudicibus offudisse in causa Cluenti gloriatus est Quintilian , Instit. ii. 17. 21, who quotes this speech more than any other . Pro Cluentio The trial of 66 BC took place before the court of poisonings but the precise legal position is unclear. Most of the speech concerns the earlier trial and supposed prejudice surrounding it the word invidia is constantly repeated Cicero claims this is strictly irrelevant to his case. He presents Oppianicus as a monster who killed many members of his own family, Sassia as a stock figure of female wickedness. He then declares that either Cluentius or Oppianicus bribed the earlier court and having proven that Oppianicus did so, claims that Cluentius was innocent of bribery. The judges who voted for Oppianicus s condemnation did so because they thought he was not going to fulfil his promise to pay them.

After the defeat of Caesar s murderers, he surrendered to Mark Antony Marcus Antonius who later gave him command of his fleet.

Refimprove date January 2010 In Roman law the law of ancient Rome , the Lex Gabinia Gabinian Law of 67 BC granted Pompey Pompeius Magnus Pompey the Great extraordinary proconsul ar powers in any Roman province province within 50 miles of the Mediterranean Sea . The law was passed by the tribune Aulus Gabinius and it was also known as lex de uno imperatore contra praedones istituendo or lex de piratis persequendis . ref Braund, D.C. Piracy under the principate and the ideology of imperial eradication In War and society in the Roman world, J. Rich, G. Shipley eds. . London, 1993. P. 195 212 ref The command came with a fleet of 500 Roman Navy warships , 120,000 Roman army infantry and around 5,000 cavalry to fight the growing problems of Cilician pirates pirates disrupting trade in the Mediterranean Sea .

The Tribunes though, were able to pass a law conferring huge powers on Pompey to deal with the pirates. The law was proposed by the Tribune Gabinius and therefore was named the Lex Gabinia or Gabinius s Law. Because most Roman territory was within the 50 mile limit around the Mediterranean, the law gave Pompey, who was then just 39, power over almost every province. This kind of power could easily be exploited, and in fact led to the legions being loyal to him personally, strengthening his position in the state. Significance Though the Senate was theoretically answerable to the SPQR Roman people populus , it was unusual for the people to pass such laws contrary to the wishes of the Senate. The laws set down by Sulla during his dictatorship had been intended to strengthen the Senate and tak ... more details
