Reading notes
- Ad Atticum 4.16 §2 Q. Tubero
Q. Aelius Tubero, a Stoic and nephew of Scipio Aemilianus; one of the younger participants in the dialogue.
- Ad Atticum 13.20 §2 give offence to Tubero
Q. Aelius Tubero, the man who prosecuted Q. Ligarius before Caesar; Cicero's published defence had attacked him, and he is touchy and prone to find fault.
- For Quintus Ligarius §1 Quintus Tubero
Q. Aelius Tubero, the prosecutor of Ligarius and himself a former Pompeian; the speech is unusual in being a defence pleaded directly before Caesar, who sat as sole judge rather than a jury.
