ip (30). He had the satisfaction of carrying out the decree
which ordered that all the statues of Antony should be demolished, and
thus "the divine justice reserved the completion of Antony's punishment
for the house of Cicero" (Plutarch). He was subsequently appointed
proconsul of Asia or Syria, but nothing further is known of his life. In
spite of his debauchery, there is no doubt that he was a man of
considerable education and no mean soldier, while Brutus, in a letter to
his father (_Epp. ad Brutum_, ii. 3), even goes so far as to say that
the son would be capable of attaining the highest honours without
borrowing from the father's reputation.

20; Dio Cassius xlv. 15, xlvi. 18, li. 19; Cicero's _Letters_ (ed.

4. QUINTUS TULLIUS CICERO (_c_. 67-43 B.C.), son of Quintus Tullius
Cicero (brother of the orator). He accompanied his uncle Marcus to
Cilicia, and, in the hope of obtaining a reward, repaid his kindness by
informing Caesar of his intention of leaving Italy. After the battle of
Pharsalus he joined his father in abusing his uncle as responsible for
the condition of affairs, hoping thereby to obtain pardon from Caesar.
After the death of Caesar he attached himself to Mark Antony, but, owing
to some fancied slight, he deserted to Brutus and Cassius. He was
included in the proscription lists, and was put to death with his father
in 43. In his last moments he refused under torture to disclose his
father's hiding-place. His father, who in his concealment was a witness
of what was taking place, thereupon gave himself up, stipulating that he
and his son should be executed at the same time.

See Cicero, _ad Att._ x. 4. 6, 7. 3; xiv. 20. 5; Dio Cassius xlvii. 10.
