person
Decimus Junius Brutus Albinus
Decimus Brutus
also: Brutus
One of Caesar's assassins (d. 43 BC); captured fleeing after Mutina and killed on Mark Antony's order. Seneca contrasts his abject death with Cato's, NOT to be confused with Marcus Brutus.
Reading notes
- Moral Letters to Lucilius §10.82.12 in Brutus
Decimus Brutus Albinus, one of Caesar's killers, who when captured after Mutina begged abjectly for his life before Antony's men killed him (43 BC) --- NOT Marcus Brutus the tyrannicide. Seneca sets his shameful death against Cato's noble one.
