Consuls

L
L. Antonius Pietas (cos. 41)
3 magistracies , aged 37 at this time
Go to term

Broughton: L. Antonius celebrated a triumph ex Alpibus on January 1 (a). Incited by Antony's wife Fulvia, he soon clashed with Octavian regarding the confiscation of lands in cities of Italy and their distribution among veterans. After first attempting to maintain the interest of his brother in the settlement of veterans he later claimed to be a protector of the towns, and a champion of the rights of the Consuls against the Triumvir Octavian. Several attempts at agreement with Octavian, mainly caused by pressure from the soldiers, proved ineffectual, and war broke out, with L. Antonius by the end of the year tightly besieged in Perusia awaiting the hesitant help of the forces under the various Antonian commanders in Italy (b). Meantime Servilius remained quietly in the background (c).

M. Barbatius Philippus
1 magistracy
Go to term

Broughton: Quaestor pro praetore under Antony in the East, where he issued coins, some of them with the portrait and name of the Consul Lucius Antonius (a). He returned to Italy after a dispute with Marcus Antonius, and his report of Antony's attitude still further confused Antony's officers in Italy regarding his wishes and drew support away from Lucius (b).
