Historical background
LICINIA
(84 BC)
The Licinia gens is a plebeian family from Rome. Lucius Licinius Macer is a historian of the first half of the 1st century BC. Annalist, he wrote a history of Rome in 16 books, of which only fragments remain. He is also a brilliant speaker. Quaestor in 78 BC, tribune of the plebs in 73 then praetor in 68 BC, he became provincial governor. When he left office, he was accused of extortion by Cicero and preferred to commit suicide in 66 BC before the verdict was given..
