Trial of Trebonius : ウィキペディア英語版 | Trial of Trebonius The Trial of Trebonius refers to the military trial of the Roman soldier Trebonius for the killing of Gaius Lusius, his superior officer and nephew of the Roman General and Consul Gaius Marius. The trial serves to show Marius’ impartiality when dealing out justice that made him popular among his soldiers as well as the common Roman citizen. Valerius Maximus calls Trebonius Gaius Plotius. Because Plutarch says that this even contributed to Marius' third election as consul, this most likely takes place in 104 BC. This event does not refer to Gaius Trebonius, one of the allies and later assassins of Julius Caesar. ==Setting== Gaius Lusius was the son of the sister of Gaius Marius, and had been given the position of a commissioned officer during the Cimbrian War between Rome and the Proto-Germanic tribe of the Cimbri. Plutarch describes Lusius as a man who had homosexual feelings for a young soldier under his command, but was not generally a bad man. Cicero describes the Trial of Trebonius (although not by name) and describes Trebonius as “the virtuous youth.”〔Cicero, Marcus Tullius. Speech in Defense of Titus Annius Milo. Yonge. pp. 9.〕 Valerius Maximus and Cicero both say that Lusius was a military tribune. Marian reforms to the military had lessened the power and number of military tribunes. Despite this, he attempted to use his position to seduce Trebonius, who had so far not cooperated with his advances. Lusius summoned Trebonius to his tent and attempted to rape the young soldier. Trebonius had no choice but to go to the tent, because he could not disobey the summons of his commander. Inside the tent, Trebonius killed Lusius with his sword.
