from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Manius Aemilius Lepidus (* before 108 BC; † between 49 and 43 BC) was a Roman senator of the late republic from the patrician gens of the Aemilians .

Life

He was the son of a Manius Aemilius, possibly the mint master of 114 or 113 BC. At a point in time between 84 and 78 BC He was Proquaestor in the province of Asia , as shown by inscriptions found on Delos and in Priene . His further career up to the consulate is not known; no later than 69 BC He must have been praetor . 66 BC BC Manius Aemilius Lepidus held the consulate together with Lucius Volcacius Tullus . Perhaps he can be identified with the Interrex Marcus (sic) Lepidus, whose house during the unrest after the death of Publius Clodius Pulcher in 52 BC. Was besieged.

Manius Lepidus managed to get out of the civil war that began in 49 BC. Broke out to keep out. Several letters by Marcus Tullius Cicero in the spring of 49 mention him. He must be before the beginning of 43 BC. To have died.

Like Cicero, Lepidus owned a villa near Formiae . His son Quintus Aemilius Lepidus arrived in 21 BC. To the consulate. Presumably he also had a daughter who was married to Gnaeus Domitius Ahenobarbus (consul 32 BC) .
