Aulus Gabinius - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (534 words) |
 | Aulus Gabinius, Roman statesman and general, and supporter of Pompey, was a prominent figure in the later days of the Roman Republic. |
| By two other measures of Gabinius, loans of money to foreign ambassadors in Rome were made non- actionable (as a check on the corruption of the senate) and the senate was ordered to give audience to foreign envoys on certain fixed days (February 1 - March 1). |
| In 61 Gabinius, then praetor, tried to win public favour by providing games on a scale of unusual splendour, and in 58 managed to secure the consulship, not without suspicion of bribery. |
