L. Marcius Philippus, consul 56 BC and Octavian's stepfather, owned a seaside villa adjacent to Cicero's; his refusal later to greet the youth as "Caesar" is noted in 14.12.
- Ad Atticum 15.12 §2 His stepfather
Lucius Marcius Philippus, consul of 56 BC, who had married Octavian's mother Atia and was a villa-neighbour of Cicero on the Bay of Naples; he discounted the young man's prospects, advising caution about the inheritance.
- Ad Atticum 16.14 §1 Philippus and Marcellus
L. Marcius Philippus (consul 56 BC) was Octavian's stepfather; with C. Claudius Marcellus (consul 50 BC), Octavian's brother-in-law, he was close to the young heir. Cicero notes that their indulgence of Octavian springs from family ties, so it does not guide his own judgement.
