ΜΟΝΤΕΝΑ (Πόλη) ΕΜΙΛΙΑ ΡΟΜΑΝΑ
Fabatus, L. Roscius, was one of Caesar's lieutenants in the Gallic war, and commanded the thirteenth
legion on the Lower Rhine, in the winter of B. C. 54. It was during this winter
that Ambiorix induced the Eburones and Nervii to attack in detail the quarters
of the Roman legions, but in the operations consequent on their revolt Fabatus
seems to have taken no part, since the district in which he was stationed remained
quiet (Caes. B. G. v. 24). He apprised Caesar, however, of hostile movements in
Armorica in the same winter. Fabatus was one of the piaetors in B. C. 49, and
was sent by Pompey from Rome to Caesar at Ariminum, with proposals of accommodation,
both public and private. He was charged by Caesar with counter-proposals, which
he delivered to Pompey and the consuls at Capua (Cic. ad Att. viii. 12; Caes.
B. C. i. 8, 10; Dion Cass. xli. 5). Fabatus was despatched on a second mission
to Caesar by those members of the Pompeian party who were anxious for peace. As
Cicero mentions his meeting with L. Caesar at Minturnae on his return from Ariminum,
and as L. Caesar was the companion of Fabatus, at least on their first journey
to and from C. Caesar, Fabatus, though not expressly named by him, probably met
Cicero at Minturnae also, and communicated Caesar's offers, January 22. B. C.
49 (Cic. ad Att. vii. 13). According to Cicero (ad Att. vii. 14), Fabatus and
L. Caesar, on their return from Ariminum, delivered Caesar's offer to Pompey,
not at Capua, but at Teanum. Fabatus was killed April 14th or 15th, B. C. 43,
in the first of the battles in the neighbourhood of Mutina, between M. Antony
and the legions of the senate (Cic. ad Fam. x. 33).

Clycon (Glukon), called in some editions of Cicero Glaucon, the physician to the consul, C. Vibius Pansa, who upon his death, after the battle of Mutina, April, B. C. 43, was thrown into prison by Torquatus, Pansa's quaestor, upon a suspicion of having poisoned his wounds. (Sueton. Aug. 11; comp. Tac. Ann. i. 10.) This accusation, however, seems to have been unfounded, as there is extant a letter from M. Brutus to Cicero, in which he earnestly begs him to procure his liberation, and to protect him from injury, as being a worthy man, who suffered as great a loss as any one by Pansa's death, and who, even if this had not been the case, would neverhave allowed himself tobe persuaded to commit such a crime. (Cic. ad Brut. 6.) He is perhaps the same person who is quoted by Scribonius Largus. (De Compos. Medicam. 206.)
