:''For others with similar names, see Marcius Censorinus.'' Lucius Marcius Censorinus was a consul of the Roman Republic in 39 BC, during the Second Triumvirate. He and his colleague Gaius Calvisius Sabinus had been the only two senators who tried to defend Julius Caesar when he was assassinated on the Ides of March in 44 BC, and their consulship under the triumvirate was a recognition of their loyalty.〔Nicolaus of Damascus, ''Vita Caesaris'' 26 (Greek text with Latin translation by (Müller )); Ronald Syme, ''Sallust'' (University of California Press, 1964), p. 228 ( online, ) ''The Roman Revolution'' (Oxford University Press, 1939, 2002), p. 221 (online ), and ''The Augustan Aristocracy'' (Oxford University Press, 1986), p. 33; Anthony Everitt, ''Augustus'' (Random House, 2007), p. 127 ( online ); T. Rice Holmes, ''The Roman Republic and the Founder of the Empire'' (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1928), p. 344 (online. )〕 Marcius Censorinus was proconsul of Macedonia and Achaea 42–40 BC. He and a Fabius Maximus were the last proconsuls honored abroad with the title "savior and founder" and with a festival bearing their names before the establishment of the imperial monarchy under Augustus.〔Syme, ''Augustan Aristocracy'' p. 69 (online. )〕 Following the civil wars of the 40s, Censorinus took possession of Cicero's beloved house on the Palatine.〔Velleius Paterculus 2.14.3; Syme, ''Augustan Aristocracy'' p. 72 and ''The Roman Revolution'' (Oxford University Press, 1939, reissued 2002), pp. 195 (note 8) and 380.〕 ==Family== The Marcii Censorini were a branch of the plebeian ''gens Marcia'', but Ronald Syme notes their "ancestral prestige, barely conceding precedence to the patriciate." They had been supporters of Gaius Marius and were consistent ''populares'' throughout the civil wars of the 80s and 40s–30s. Lucius's father, who had the same name, was one of Sulla's enemies in 88 BC.〔Syme, ''Augustan Aristocracy'' p. 28.〕 Censorinus's daughter (or possibly his sister) married the L. Sempronius Atratinus who was suffect consul in 34 BC.〔Claude Eilers, ''Roman Patrons of Greek Cities'' (Oxford University Press, 2002), p. 196.〕 His son Gaius Marcius Censorinus was consul in 8 BC. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lucius Marcius Censorinus (consul 39 BC)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
