person
A. Terentius Varro Murena
Varro Murena
also: Varro Murena, Varronis, A. Varro Murena, Murena
Roman of the late Republic and early Principate who bore the cognomen Murena through adoption into or alliance with the Licinia Murena family; active correspondent and friend of Cicero in 46-44 BC, independently commending T. Manlius to Servius Sulpicius (Fam. 13.22). Likely identical with A. Terentius Varro Murena, consul suffect 23 BC, later executed for alleged conspiracy against Augustus. UNCERTAIN: the identification with the consul of 23 BC rests on the rare double name; flag for review.
Reading notes
- Ad Familiares 13.22 §1 Varro Murena is keenly anxious to do everything for his sake
"Varro Murena" is A. Terentius Varro Murena, who had been adopted into the gens Licinia Murena; he appears in several of Cicero's 46--44 BC letters as an active friend and sometime advocate, and is likely the same man later consul suffect in 23 BC and executed for conspiracy against Augustus.
