Manius Acilius Glabrio (Consul 67 BC)

Manius Acilius Glabrio was a Roman politician and general from the plebeian family of the Acilians . His father was the tribune of the same name , his maternal grandfather was the famous lawyer Publius Mucius Scaevola .

He was married to Sulla's stepdaughter Aemilia , the daughter of Marcus Aemilius Scaurus . 82 BC He annoyed his father-in-law by criticizing his politics. As a result, he forced a divorce even though Aemilia was pregnant. She died a little later as the wife of Gnaeus Pompeius Magnus, giving birth to Manius Acilius Glabrius' son.

Perhaps Glabrio was 78 BC Chr. Tribune. As praetor he sat in the year 70 BC. The quaestio de repetundis and thus the trial against Gaius Verres . As consul of the year 67 BC BC Glabrio and his colleague Gaius Calpurnius Piso passed a strict law against illegal canvassing, the Lex Acilia Calpurnia . The following year he replaced Lucius Licinius Lucullus as proconsul of Cilicia and as commander in chief in the war against Mithridates VI . But since he himself was completely inactive and unable to control the soldiers, he was replaced by Pompey in the same year - after the Lex Manilia .

Presumably Glabrio was 64 BC. Chr. Censor along with Lucius Aurelius Cotta . 63 BC BC he voted in the Senate negotiation over the co-conspirators of Lucius Sergius Catiline for the death penalty.

At an unknown time before 57 BC. Glabrio received the religious office of a pontifex .
