abstract
  • Manius Acilius Glabrio, Roman statesman and general, grandson of the famous jurist P. Mucius Scaevola. When praetor urbanus (70 BC) he presided at the trial of Verres. According to Dio Cassius (xxxvi. 38), in conjunction with L. Calpurnius Piso, his colleague in the consulship (67), he brought forward a severe law (Lex Acilia Calpurnia) against illegal canvassing at elections. In the same year he was appointed to succeed Lucius Licinius Lucullus in the government of Cilicia and the command of the war against Mithradates. He wrecked Roman control of the region because he released Lucullus's soldiers from his command, but he himself was unable to control the soldiery and was in turn replaced by Gnaeus Pompeius Magnus according to the provisions of the lex Manilia. Little else is known of him except that he declared in favour of the death punishment for the Catilinarian conspirators. Dio Cassius xxxvi. 14, 16. 24; Cicero, Pro lege Manilia, 2. 9; Appian, Mithrid. 90.
