Encyclopedia > Gaius Servilius Glaucia

Gaius Servilius Glaucia (d. 99 BC) was a Roman politician who served as tribune of the Plebs in 101 BC and praetor in 100 BC. He arranged for the murder of an elected tribune (Gaius Memmius) to clear the way for Lucius Appuleius Saturninus to gain election to the post. While attempting to stand for consul in 99 BC, he was engaged in an exchange between himself and a fellow senator who attempted to prevent his candidature on the grounds that he had not waited the mandatory two years between election as praetor and election to the consulship. In a fit of rage he killed the man and fled to the home of one his supporters, where he committed suicide.

Lucius Appuleius Saturninus - LoveToKnow 1911 (941 words)
Marius, on his return to Rome after his victory over the Cimbri, finding himself isolated in the senate, entered into a compact with Saturninus and his ally C. Servilius Glaucia, and the three formed a kind of triumvirate, supported by the veterans of Marius and the needy rabble.
Saturninus was elected tribune for the third time for the year beginning the 10th of December ioo, and Glaucia, although at the time praetor and therefore not eligible until after the lapse of two years, was a candidate for the consulship.
Antonius the orator was elected without opposition; the other government candidate, Gaius Memmius, who seemed to have the better chance of success, was beaten to death by the hired agents of Saturninus and Glaucia, while the voting was actually going on.
