[273] We do not know when the marriage took place, or any of the circumstances; but we are aware that when Tullia came, in the following year, b.c. 57, to meet her father at Brundisium, she was a widow.
[274] Suetonius, Julius Cæsar, xii.: "Subornavit etiam qui C. Rabirio perduellionis diem diceret."
[275] "Qui civem Romanum indemnatum perimisset, ei aqua at igni interdiceretur."
[276]Plutarch tells us of this sobriquet, but gives another reason for it, equally injurious to the lady's reputation.

[280] We are told by Cornelius Nepos, in his life of Atticus, that when Cicero fled from his country Atticus advanced to him two hundred and fifty sesterces, or about £2000. I doubt, however, whether the flight here referred to was not that early visit to Athens which Cicero was supposed to have made in his fear of Sulla.
