Titus Albucius
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Titus Albucius (praetor c. 105 BC) was a noted orator of the late Roman Republic.
He finished his studies at Athens at the latter end of the 2nd century BC, and belonged to the Epicurean sect. He was well acquainted with Greek literature, or rather, says Cicero, was almost a Greek.[1] On account of his affecting on every occasion the Greek language and philosophy, he was satirized by Lucilius, whose lines upon him are preserved by Cicero,[2] and Cicero himself speaks of him as a light-minded man. He accused, though unsuccessfully, Mucius Scaevola, the augur, of maladministration (repetundae) in his province.[3]
