A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology (ed. William Smith), Ce'stius (search)
Ce'stius 1. *ke/stios, Cicero mentions three persons of this name, who perhaps are all the same: one in the oration for Flaccus, B. C. 59 (100.13), another (C. Cestius) in a letter to Atticus, B. C. 51 (ad Att. 5.13), and a third (C. Cestius) as praetor in B. C. 44, who, he says, refused a province from Antony. (Phil. 3.10.) As the last belonged to the aristocratical party, it is probable that he is the same Cestius who perished in the proscription, B. C. 43. (Appian, App. BC 4.26.)

simulation which he maintained throughout a long and most prosperous life, affected the warmest attachment to the senate, and especially to the person of their leader, who was completely duped by these professions. From the beginning of the year B. C. 43 until the end of April, Cicero was in the height of his glory; within this space the last twelve Philippics were all delivered and listened to with rapturous applause; his activity was unceasing, at one moment encouraging the senate, at another volume contains a series of 426 epistles, commencing with a formal congratulation to Pompey on his success in the Mithridatic war, written in the course of B. C. 62, and terminating with a note to Cassius, despatched about the beginning of July, B. C. 43, announcing that Lepidus had been declared a public enemy by the senate, in consequence of having gone over to Antony. They are not placed in chronological order, but those addressed to the same individuals, with their replies, where these exist

(B. C. 48) the younger, giving way to the bitterness of a hasty temper exasperated by disappointment, and stimulated by the representations of his son, indulged in the most violent language towards M. Cicero, wrote letters to the most distinguished persons in Italy loading him with abuse, and, proceeding to Alexandria, made his peace with Caesar. (B. C. 47.) (Ad Att. 11.5, 9, 13, 14-16, 20.) A reconciliation took place after his return to Italy; but we hear little more of him until the year B. C. 43, when he fell a victim to the proscription of the triumvirs. Works Poetic Works Quintus, in addition to his military reputation, was an aspirant to literary fame also, and in poetry Cicero considered him superior to himself. (Ad Q. Fr. 3.4.) The fact of his having composed four tragedies in sixteen days, even although they may have been mere translations, does not impress us with a high idea of the probable quality of his productions (ad Q. Fr. 3.5); but we possess no specimens of his

ich his father and his uncle had formed of quitting Italy. (Ad Att. 10.4, 7.) His unamiable temper broke forth with savage violence after the battle of Pharsalia, when he loaded his uncle with the most virulent vituperation in hopes that he might thus the more easily propitiate the conqueror. Having obtained pardon from Caesar he accompanied him to Spain, ever seeking to gain favour by railing against his own nearest relations, and after the death of the dictator was for a while the right-hand man of Antony (ad Att. 14.20), but, having taken some offence, with characteristic fickleness he went over to Brutus and Cassius, by whom he was kindly received, was in consequence included in the proscription of the triumvirs, and was put to death at Rome in B. C. 43. He is said on this occasion to have in some degree made amends for his former errors by the steadfastness with which he refused to divulge the place where his father was concealed, even when pressed by torture. (D. C. 47.10.) [W.R]
A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology (ed. William Smith), Cilo (search)
Cilo a Roman senator, called by Appian *Ki/llwn, proscribed in B. C. 43 (Appian, App. BC 4.27), may perhaps be the same as the Cilo, the friend of Toranius and Cicero, whom the latter mentions in B. C. 45. (Cic. Fam. 6.20.)

Cimber, C. A'nnius the son of Lysidicus, had obtained the praetorship from Caesar, and was one of Antony's supporters in B. C. 43, on which account he is vehemently attacked by Cicero. He was charged with having killed his brother, whence Cicero calls him ironically Philadelphus, and perpetrates the pun Nisi forte jure Germanum Cimber occidtit, that is, " unless perchance he has a right to kill his own countryman," as Cimber is the name of a German people, and Germanus signifies in Latin both a German and a brother. (Cic. Phil. 13.12, 11.6; Quint. Inst. 8.3.27; comp. Cic. Att. 15.13; Suet. Aug. 86.) Cimber was an orator, a poet, and an historian, but his merits were of a low order, and he is ridiculed by Virgil in an epigram preserved by Quintilian (l.c.). (Huschke, De C. Annio Cimbro, Rostoch. 1824.)
A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology (ed. William Smith), Ci'spius (search)
Ci'spius 2. L. Cispius, one of Caesar's officers in the African war, commanded part of the fleet. (Hirt. B. Aft. 62, 67.) He is perhaps the same as the Cispius Laevus, whom Plancus mentions in a letter to Cicero in B. C. 43. (Cic. Fam. 10.21.)
A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology (ed. William Smith), Clau'dia (search)
Clau'dia 12. CLODIA [Stemma, No. 49], daughter of P. Clodius, was betrothed in B. C. 43 to Octavianus (Augustus), who, however, never regarded her as his wife, and at the outbreak of the Perusinian war sent her back to her mother Fulvia. (Suet. Aug. 62; D. C. 48.5.)
A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology (ed. William Smith), Clau'dius (search)
Clau'dius 2. L. Clodius, praefectus fabrum to App. Claudius Pulcher, consul B. C. 54. [CLAUDIUS, No. 38.] (Cic. Fam. 3.4-6, 8.) He was tribune of the plebs, B. C. 43. (Pseudo-Cic. ad Brut. 1.1 ; comp. Cic. Att. 15.13.)
A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology (ed. William Smith), Consi'dius (search)
Consi'dius 6. Q. Considius Gallus, one of the heirs of Q. Turius in B. C. 43, was perhaps a son of No. 4. (Cic. Fam. 12.26.)
