Happy Caius Julius Caesar Birthday!

Recommended Posts

Salve, Amici.

At the still named Quintilis of DCCIX AUC / 45 BC, while celebrating his birthday during the aftermath of the final campaign of the Civil War at Spain, the sole Consul and Master of Rome could well have thought "at last".

 

If he still remembered his younger days as junior conspirator, he may have guessed what happened with those old chaps from the failed coup d'etat 18 years ago, a dozen or so fellow Senators, some of them of the highest rank.

 

As far as I know, here comes their ourcome (and upermost position):

 

Lucius Sergius Catilina ---------------- Died in combat ---------- Patrician -------- Praetor

Publius Cornelius Lentulus Sura ----- Summarily executed ---- Patrician -------- Consul

Publius Autronius ---------------------- Judged - Exiled to Epirus ------------------- Consul-----Cicero declared against him

Lucius Cassius Longinus -------------- Condemned in Absence (?) ---------------- Praetor

Gaius Cethegus ----------------------- Summarily executed ----------------------- Quaestor (young)

Publius Cornelius Sulla ---------------- Absolved ------------------ Patrician ------- Consul --- Defended by Cicero

Servius Cornelius Sulla --------------- Judged & condemned. Survived? --- Patrician

Lucius Vargunteius -------------------- Judged - ?

Quintus Annius ------------------------- ?

Marcus Porcius Laeca ----------------- Judged - ?

Lucius Calpurnius Bestia -------------- Absolved -- Defended by Cicero ---------- Tribune of Plebs, Aedilship candidate

Quintus Curius ------------------------- Survived? ------------------------------------ Praetor

 

I'm open for corrections.
