Cicero Minor

Cicero minor was then taught declamation in Greek by Cassius and Latin with Brutus,[11] the two leading conspirators in the assassination of Julius Caesar who, their deed complete, were in Greece trying to gain support for the war against the Second Triumvirate.

[citation needed] While his father was in Rome leading the senate during the War of Mutina, he sought to advance Cicero minor to the College of Pontiffs.

[15] Made one of the suffect consuls for 30 BC at Octavian's initiative,[16][17] Cicero minor announced Antony's death to the senate and people.

[18] Cicero minor had the senate revoke Antony's honours and tear his statues down, as well as decree that no Antonii would bear the name Marcus again.

[21] Later remembered as an alcoholic, Pliny, in Naturalis Historia recounts a story where in a drunken stupor Cicero Minor threw a goblet at Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa.

[22] Seneca the Elder, in Suasoriae, said that the younger had "none of his father's ability except his wit" and that he "was not gifted with a good memory, and drunkenness was gradually destroying any that he had".
