Orelli (Onomastic. C. Memmius Gemillus) refers to Cicero, Pro Balbo, c. 2, to show that this Memmius was quaestor under Pompeius in his Spanish campaign.  But according to Plutarch, a Memmius fell in battle in this war (Life of Sertorius, c. 21).]

[Footnote 425:  Lucullus triumphed B.C. 63, in the consulship of Cicero. (Cicero, Academ.  Prior, ii. 1.)]

[Footnote 426:  Servilia was the half sister of M. Porcius Cato the younger.  Livia, the daughter of M. Livius Drusus, who was consul B.C. 112 and the sister of the tribune M. Livius Drusus B.C. 91, was married to M. Porcius Cato, by whom she became the mother of M. Porcius Cato the younger, or of Utica.  She was divorced from Cato, and then married Q. Servilius Caepio, the brother of the Caepio who was defeated by the Cimbri.  Some critics made Caepio her first husband.  She had by Caepio a daughter Servilia, who married L. Lucullus, and another Servilia, who married M. Junius Brutus and was the mother of M. Junius Brutus, one of the assassins of C. Julius Caesar.  Plutarch in various passages clearly distinguishes these two women, though some critics think there was only one Servilia.  Caesar was a lover of the mother of Brutus, and he gave her an estate at Naples. (Cicero, Ad Attic, xiv. 21.)]

[Footnote 427:  This is the word of Plutarch ([Greek:  tes aristokratias]), which he seems to use here like the Roman “Nobilitas” to express the body of the Nobiles or Optimates, as they were called by a term which resembled the Greek [Greek:  aristoi]. (See Tiberius Gracchus, c. 10, notes.)]

[Footnote 428:  The original is made somewhat obscure by the words [Greek:  hosper ou], which introduce the concluding sentence; it is not always easy to see in such cases whose is the opinion that is expressed.  Plutarch means to say that Lucullus thought that luxury was more suitable to his years than war or affairs of state, and that Pompeius and Crassus differed from him on this point.  Compare the Life of Pompeius, c. 48.]

[Footnote 429:  These gardens in the reign of Claudius belonged to Valerius Asiaticus.  Messalina the wife of Claudius, coveted the gardens, and Valerius, after being charged with various offences was graciously allowed by the emperor to choose his own way of dying.  In these same gardens Messalina was put to death. (Tacitus, Ann. xi. 1. 37.)]

[Footnote 430:  There is the tunnel near Naples, called Posilipo, which is a Roman work, and is described by Strabo (p. 246); but its date is unknown.]

[Footnote 431:  Tubero the Stoic was Q. AElius Tubero, who was Tribune of the Plebs B.C. 133 and opposed Tiberius Gracchus.  He was also an opponent of Caius (Cicero, Brutus, c. 31, and Meyer’s notes).  But this cannot be the contemporary of Lucullus, and Plutarch either means Q. AElius Tubero the historian, or he has mistaken the period of Tubero the Stoic.  Ruhnken proposes to read in the text
