    Bibulus gets a bad wrap. Anyone going up against Caesar their entire professional life will probably end up a distant second.

    He's hard to evaluate.
    His consulship was a humiliating disaster but in general he seems perfectly competent, even magnanimous.

      “Magnanimous” is not the word I’d use to describe one of the foremost opponents of Pompey’s proposal for veteran settlements who also obstructed his co-consul from doing literally anything because he was a spooky rival lol
      Btw, not looking for an argument. Your comment is two sentences posted almost a year ago, and I’m not that kind of person. Just wanted to respond to that final sentiment

    What was Cicero's attitude towards the First Triumvirate?

    • @ThersitestheHistorian
      @ThersitestheHistorian  5 років тому +5

      Privately, he was not a fan and hoped that Pompey would come to his senses. Publicly, he spoke on their behalf when asked to do so, at least after he had been humbled by exile.

      @@tacocruiser4238 Yes and no. They were on the same side most of the time, but they had very different backgrounds and personalities. Cicero mocked Cato's purity in his letters to Atticus and he thought that Cato and some of the others were uppity. Cato and other nobles were willing to work with Cicero, but they never fully accepted him as their equal since he was a new man.

      @@tacocruiser4238 In large part. Caesar knew that Cicero was a useful asset since he was Rome's greatest orator. Antony hated Cicero because Cicero often made jokes at his expense and delivered a series of orations called the Philippics directed at Antony, calling him a tyrant and enemy of the state.
