person
Gaius Epidius Marullus
Marullus
also: Marullum, Marullus
Tribune of the plebs in 44 BC who, with his colleague L. Caesetius Flavus, removed a diadem placed on Caesar's statue and prosecuted those who hailed Caesar as king; Caesar had both deposed. Cicero cites them in Phil. 13.31 as men whose removal Antony falsely lays at the Senate's door.
Reading notes
- Thirteenth Philippic §31 Were we to drive a Marullus, a Caesetius, out of public life
The tribunes Epidius Marullus and Caesetius Flavus had removed a diadem from Caesar's statue and were deposed by Caesar; Antony's letter perversely blames their fall on Cicero's party rather than on Caesar.
