Pseudo-Corbulo, once thought to be the portrait of Gnaeus Domitius Corbulo, actually a portrait of an unknown personality of the 1st century BC. Parian marble.

.

(Classical Latin: [ˈgaː.i.ʊs ˈkas.si.ʊs ˈlɔŋ.gɪ.nʊs];

‘October 3, before 85 BCE’ – ‘October 3, 42 BCE’)

.

*’gaius cassius longinus’ was a roman senator, a leading instigator of the plot to kill ‘julius caesar’, and the brother in-law of ‘marcus junius brutus’*

.

(he commanded troops with ‘Brutus’ during the ‘Battle of Philippi’ against the combined forces of ‘Mark Antony’ and ‘Octavian’, Caesar’s former supporters, and committed suicide after being defeated by ‘Mark Antony’)

(he was elected ‘Tribune of the Plebs’ in 49 BC)

(he opposed ‘Caesar’, and he commanded a fleet against him during Caesar’s Civil War: after ‘Caesar’ defeated ‘Pompey’ in the ‘Battle of Pharsalus’, ‘Caesar’ overtook ‘Cassius’ and forced him to surrender)

(after Caesar’s death, ‘Cassius’ fled to the East, where he amassed an army of 12 legions)

(he was supported and made ‘Governor’ by the ‘Senate’)

(though he and ‘Brutus’ marched west against the allies of the ‘Second Triumvirate’, ‘Cassius’ was defeated at the ‘Battle of Phillippi’ and committed suicide)

(he followed the teachings of the philosopher ‘Epicurus’, although scholars debate whether or not these beliefs affected his political life)

(‘Cassius’ is a main character in William Shakespeare’s play Julius Caesar that depicts the assassination of ‘Caesar’ and its aftermath)

.

(he is also shown in the lowest circle of ‘hell’ in dante’s inferno as punishment for betraying + killing ‘caesar’)
