SULPICIUS RUFUS, SERVIUS (c. 10643 B.C.) , surnamed Lemonia from the tribe to which he belonged, Roman orator and jurist. He studied rhetoric with Cicero; and accompanied him to Rhodes in 78 B.C. Finding that he would never be able to rival his teacher he gave up rhetoric for law (Cic. Brut. 41). In 63 he was a candidate for the consulship, but was defeated by L. Licinius
senate to Antony at Mutina. He was ac-corded a public funeral, and a statue was erected to his memory in front of the Rostra. Two excellent specimens of Sulpicius's style
Quintilian (Instil. x. 1, 116) speaks of three orations by Sulpicius as still in existence; one of these was the speech against Murena, another Pro or Contra Aufidium, of whom nothing is known. He is also said to have been a writer of erotic poems. It is as a. jurist, however, that Sulpicius was chiefly distinguished. He left behind him a large number of treatises
