Publius Servilius Casca

Tribune of the plebs in 43 BCE

🏛️ Career

  1. Tribune of the Plebs

    Broughton: The entrance of this Liberator upon his tribunate without protest from Octavian satisfied Cicero that he could safely sponsor Octavian before the Senate (a). On July 25 he took part in a consultation between Cicero and Brutus' mother Servilia (b). He escaped from Rome when Octavian marched on the city, and was duly removed from office by a measure carried by P. Titius (c, where Titius is mistakenly termed Praetor and placed in 42,). He became an admiral under Brutus (see 42, Legates).
