CALENUS, QUINTUS FUFIUS

This article appears in Volume V04, Page 1004 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: CAL-CAR
CALENUS, QUINTUS FUFIUS , Roman general. As tribune of the
people
  in 61 B.C., he was chiefly instrumental in securing the acquittal of the notorious Publius Clodius when charged with having profaned the mysteries of
Bona
  Dea (Cicero, Ad. AU. is 16). In 59 Calenus 'was praetor, and brought forward a law that the senators, knights, and tribuni
aerarii
 , who composed the judices, should vote separately, so that it might be known how they gave their votes (Dio
Cassius
  xxxviii. 8). He fought in Gaul (51) and Spain (49) under Caesar, who, after he had crossed over to
Greece
  (48), sent Calenus from
Epirus
  to bring over the rest of the troops from
Italy
 . On the passage to
Italy
 , most of the
ships
  were captured by Bibulus and Calenus himself escaped with difficulty. In 47 he was raised to the consulship through the
influence
  of Caesar. After the death of the dictator, he joined Antony, whose legions he afterwards commanded in the north of Italy. He died in 41, while stationed with his army at the foot of the Alps, just as he was on the point of marching against Octavianus.
Caesar, B.G. viii. 39; B.C. i. 87, iii. 26; Cie. Philippicae, viii. 4.
