Reading notes
- Ad Familiares 8.12 §2 his colleague
Appius's fellow censor of 50 BC, L. Calpurnius Piso Caesoninus (Caesar's father-in-law); Caelius spitefully sought a favour from him rather than from Appius.
- On His Return: To the Senate §13 Caesoninus Calventius
L. Calpurnius Piso Caesoninus, consul 58 BC, mocked here through his maternal (Calventius, Transalpine) descent and his professed Epicureanism. With Gabinius he was rewarded with a province (Macedonia) for abandoning Cicero.
