The youngest
son of Marcus Calpurnius Bibulus, Julius
Caesar's long-time adversary, not only survived the civil
wars that cost his father & older brothers their lives, but
ironically died a trusted ally of Caesar's heir, Octavian.
Lucius Bibulus' political conversion from stalwart champion of
Rome's republican tradition to ranking official in the new
imperial order was hardly precipitous. After Caesar's death, the
younger Bibulus supported his assassins & fought for them at
Philippi (42 BCE).
Following the suicides of Brutus & Cassius, however, he
surrendered to Marc Antony, who entrusted him with a naval
command in battles with Octavian.
