RUPILIUS, PUBLIUS

This article appears in Volume V23, Page 856 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: RON-SAC
RUPILIUS, PUBLIUS ,
Roman
  statesman,
consul
  in 132. B.C. During the inquiry that followed the death of Tiberius
Gracchus
 , conducted by himself and his colleague Popillius
Laenas
 , he proceeded with the utmost severity against the supporters of
Gracchus
 . In the same year he was despatched to
Sicily
 , where he suppressed the revolt of the slaves under Eunus. During 131 he remained as proconsul of the
island
 , and, with the assistance of ten commissionersappointed by the
senate
 , drew up regulations for the organization of
Sicily
  as a province. These regulations were known by the
title
  of. leges Rupiliae, though they were not
laws
  in the strict sense. Rupilius was subsequently brought to trial (123 B.C.) and condemned for his treatment of the friends of Gracchus. The disgrace of his condemnation, added to disappointment at the failure of his brother to obtain the consulship in spite of the efforts of Scipio, caused his death shortly afterwards.
See Cicero, De Am. 19, Tusc. disp. iv. 17, in Veer. ii. 13, 15; Diod. Sic. xxxiv. 1, 20; Vell. Pat. ii. 7.
