LOLLIUS, MARCUS

This article appears in Volume V16, Page 931 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: LOB-LUP
LOLLIUS, MARCUS , Roman general, the first
governor
  of
Galatia
  (25 B.C.),
consul
  in 21. In 16, when
governor
  of Gaul, he was defeated by the Sigambri (Sygambri), Usipetes and Tencteri, German tribes who had crossed the Rhine. This defeat is coupled by Tacitus with the disaster of Varus, but it was disgraceful rather than dangerous. Lollius was subsequently (2 B.C.) attached in the capacity of tutor and adviser to Gaius Caesar (
Augustus
 's grandson) on his mission to the
East
 . He was accused of
extortion
  and treachery to the state, and denounced by Gaius to the emperor. To avoid punishment he is said to have taken poison. According to Vellelus Paterculus and Pliny, he was a hypocrite and cared for nothing but amassing wealth. It was formerly thought that this was the Lollius whom
Horace
  described as a model of integrity and superior to avarice in Od. iv. 9, but it seems hardly likely that this Ode, as well as the two Lollian epistles of
Horace
  (i. 2 and 18), was addressed to him. All three must have been addressed to the same individual, a
young
  man, probably the son of this Lollius.
See Suetonius,
Augustus
 , 23, Tiberius, 12; Vell. Pat. ii. 97. 102; Tacitus, Annals, i. to,. iii. 48; 'Pliny, Nat. Hist. ix. 35 (58); Dio
Cassius
 , liv. 6; see also J. C. Tarver, Tiberius the Tyrant (1902), pp. 200 foil.
