Topic: Gnaeus Octavius


  
 Ancient History Sourcebook: Suetonius  (c.69-after 122 CE): The Divine Augustus
For Gnaeus, and his descendants in uninterrupted succession, held all the highest offices of the state; whilst Gaius and his posterity, whether from their circumstances or their choice, remained in the equestrian order until the father of Augustus.
His father Gaius Octavius was, from his earliest years, a person both of opulence and distinction: for which reason I am surprised at those who say that he was a money-dealer, and was employed in scattering bribes, and canvassing for the candidates at elections, in the Campus Martius.
During ten years he acted as one of the triumvirate for settling the commonwealth, in which office he for some time opposed his colleagues in their design of a proscription; but after it was begun, he prosecuted it with more determined rigour than either of them.

 Gaius Marius Summary
When Octavius surrendered and Cinna was again recognized as consul, Marius grimly refused to enter the city until the sentence of exile had been formally repealed by the people.
Caepio was prorogued into the next year, when one of the new Consuls, Gnaeus Mallius Maximus, also operated in southern Gaul.
(Gnaeus Octavius, a supporter of Sulla, and Lucius Cornelius Cinna, a supporter of Marius, were elected Consul).

 Imperial Rome
Octavius and Antony, as soon as they had disposed of their enemies in Italy, crossed the Adriatic into Greece to disperse the forces of the republicans there.
And as Octavius was careful not to wound the sensibilities of the lovers of the old Republic by assuming any title that in any way suggested regal authority and prerogative, so was he careful not to arouse their opposition by abolishing any of the republican offices or assemblies.
This power Octavius exercised by reducing the number of senators, which had been raised to one thousand, to six hundred, and by striking from the rolls the names of unworthy members and of obstinate republicans.

 livy 45.27-33
The praetor Gnaeus Octavius - for he too was there - translated these announcements into Greek and conveyed them to the Macedonians.
The provisions were as follows: first of all, the Macedonians were to be free, keeping their own cities and territories, enjoying their own laws, and electing annual magistrates; they were to pay to the Roman, people half the tax they had paid to their kings.
There were statues, pictures, textiles, vessels of gold, silver, bronze, and ivory, fashioned with immense pains in the king's palace, not for temporary display, like the objects with which the palace at Alexandria was crammed, but for lasting use.

Demetrios also sent Leptines (the murderer of Gnaeus Octavius) and the grammarian and public lecturer Isokrates (who was held responsible to have inspired him) to Rome, along with a honorific gold gift.
Gnaeus and his colleagues therefore started with instructions, first of all to burn the decked ships, next to hamstring the elephants, and generally to weaken the forces of the kingdom.
It was a pitiful sight, the killing of these gentle and rare beasts and the burning of the ships, and a certain Leptines of Laodicea was so exasperated by the sight that he stabbed Gnaeus Octavius, the chief of the embassy, while he was anointing himself in the gymnasium, and Lysias buried him.

 Cicero: De Officiis
We have heard that Gnaeus Octavius — the first of that family to be elected consul —; distinguished himself by building upon the Palatine an attractive and imposing house.
Octavius, then, was the first of his family to bring the honour of a consulship to his house; Scaurus, thought the son of a very great and illustrious man, brought to the same house, when enlarged, not only defeat, but disgrace {139}and ruin.
The truth is, a man's dignity may be enhanced by the house he lives in, but not wholly secured by it; the owner should bring honour to his house, not the house to its owner.
