| | Gnaeus Papirius Carbo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | A member of the Carbones of the plebeian gens Papiria, and nephew of Gaius Papirius Carbo (consul of 120), he was a strong supporter of the Marian party, and took part in the blockade of Rome (87 BC). |
 | | Cinna and Carbo declared themselves consuls for the following year, and large bodies of troops were transported across the Adriatic Sea; but when Cinna was murdered by his own soldiers, who refused to engage in civil war, Carbo was obliged to bring them back. |
 | | In 82 BC Carbo, then consul for the third time with Gaius Marius the Younger, fought an indecisive engagement with Sulla near Clusium, but was defeated with great loss in an attack on the camp of Sulla's general, Quintus Caecilius Metellus Pius near Faventia. |
