		After his father's early death, he was raised in the household of Julia's second husband, Publius Cornelius Lentulus Sura, who was executed by Cicero in 63 BC as one of Catiline's co-conspirators; his consequent hatred of Cicero would colour the rest of his career until he engineered the great orator's death in 43 BC.
		In early 43 BC he was besieging the conspirator Decimus Iunius Brutus Albinus at Mutina when he found himself under pressure from the armies of the consuls Gaius Vibius Pansa and Aulus Hirtius and of Octavian himself.
		In April he was forced to withdraw into Transalpine Gaul, but there the support of the western, Caesarian governors—Marcus Aemilius Lepidus, Gaius Asinius Pollio and Lucius Munatius Plancus—brought about a reconciliation with Octavian.

	Equestrians (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		The title eques was held by those in the squadrons of public horses.
		At last, in the ninth year of the principate of Tiberius, the Equestrian order achieved unity, and a regulation for the right of ownership of rings was established in the consulship of Gaius Asinius Pollio and Gaius Antistius Vetus (23 A.D.).
		The reason for this, something for us to wonder at, was the almost trifling fact that Gaius Sulpicius Galba, on the look-out for gaining youthful favor with the emperor [Tiberius] by penalizing eating-establishments, complained in the senate that shopkeepers defended themselves against a charge by means of their rings.

		They must show neither satisfaction at the death of one emperor, nor gloom at the accession of another:so their features were carefully arranged in a blend of tears and smiles, mourning and flattery.
		Soon both consuls, Gaius Vibius Pansa and Aulus Hirtius, had met their deaths - by enemy action; or perhaps in the one case by the deliberate poisoning of his wound, and in the other at the hand of his own troops, instigated by Octavian.

		The son of this Pollio, Gaius Asinius, or Gallus, was a splendid speaker and no mean poet: Virgil esteemed him with a wondrous love.
		After Gaius Caesar was cut down in the senate building on the ides of March, the veterans appointed Augustus Caesar (he was practically a boy) as their leader--and not without the senate's approval!

	Abstract (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Caesar's plan "to make public (publicare) the largest possible Greek and Latin libraries" was also under way, according to Suetonius, with the task of obtaining and arranging the libraries entrusted to Marcus Terentius Varro.
		Pollio's establishment of a library has been viewed as his conscious effort to carry out one of his chief's unfulfilled plans.
		Nicholas Purcell has overturned that topographical consensus with his proposal that the Atrium Libertatis is the building we have come to call the "Tabularium" on the Capitoline (PBSR 61 [1993] 125-155).

	On Vergilius and the Gnomes
		A close friend of Vergilius was Gaius Asinius Pollio [76 BCE - 4 CE], whom he called Pullus [= a sprout, recall "Virgilius" from virgula = a shoot].
		Pollio was knight (eques) and later the governor of Cisalpine Gaul, a friend of the republic, and a wise man, who founded the first public library in Rome and wrote many books, especially in history.
		After the brothers had left, he returned to the stone and placed under it a tablet saying that the ring had been taken into the custody of an Earth-spirit (Gnomus), who would bring the evil brothers what they deserved.

	The Elder Pliny on the History of the Equestrian Order
		(32) In the ninth year of the emperor Tiberius, the equestrian order was united into a single body, and in the consulship of Gaius Asinius Pollio and Gaius Antistius Vetus, in the 775th year after the founding of Rome, regulations were established for the wearing of rings.
		This became so common that when the emperor Claudius was emperor, the equestrian Flavius Proculus charged 400 people with usurping the status of an equestrian: thus an order that was intended to be separate from other citizens is even shared with slaves.
		He goes on to give the account that I have just given, and shows how, even though they were unwilling, they were called the trossuli.

		Most likely, Pollio, Varus and Gallus whom Servius states to have been the executors of the land distribution in Cisalpine Gaul were not responsible for the redistribution.
		But these dates have been extended in both directions and the complete publication may be as late as 35.
		It seems his literary patron for the Eclogues, at least the earliest of them, was Asinius Pollio, but soon he was taken over by Maecenas for his circle of poets who wrote on behalf of the future Augustus.
