CAEPIO, QUINTUS SERVILIUS

This article appears in Volume V04, Page 936 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BUN-CAL
CAEPIO, QUINTUS SERVILIUS , Roman general,
consul
  so6 B.C. During his year of office, he brought forward a law by which the jurymen were again to be chosen from the senators instead of the
equites
  (Tacitus, Ann. xii. 6o). As
governor
  of Gallia Narbonensis, he plundered the temple of the Celtic Apollo at Tolosa (Toulouse), which had joined the
Cimbri
 . In 105,
Caepio
  suffered a crushing defeat from the
Cimbri
  at Arausio (Orange) on the Rhone, which was looked upon as a
punishment
  for his
sacrilege
 ; hence the proverb Aurum Tolosanum habet, of an act involving disastrous consequences. In the same year he was deprived of his proconsulship and his property confiscated; subsequently (the chronology is obscure, see Mommsen, History of Rome, bk. iv. ch. 5) he was expelled from the senate, accused by the tribune Norbanus of embezzlement and misconduct during the war, condemned and imprisoned. He either died during his confinement or escaped to Smyrna.
Livy, Epit. 67; Valerius Maximus iv. 7. 3;
Justin
  xxxii. 3; Aulus Gellius iii. 9.
