Relative of C. Ateius Capito. Held Macedonia by lot as quaestor and was trapped there when Pompey arrived in 49--48 BC. Participated minimally in Pompeian coinage operations at Apollonia before withdrawing to inner Macedonia. After Pharsalus fled to A. Plautius in Bithynia, was ordered to Rome by Caesar, fell ill, and died at Corcyra. Had made a will at Rome in the consulship of Paulus and Marcellus (50 BC) leaving Capito the heir (13.29).
Reading notes
- Ad Familiares 13.29 §3 holding Macedonia by lot as quaestor, and not yet superseded, was overtaken by the arrival of Pompey
When Pompey moved through Macedonia in 49--48 BC assembling his forces against Caesar, quaestors and other officers already in the province were effectively absorbed into his command; Antistius, who had not yet been replaced (nondum ei successum esset), found himself unable to withdraw.
