Manius Aquillius was a Roman senator who served as consul in 129 BC.
He put an end to the war which had been carried on against Aristonicus, the son of Eumenes II, king of Pergamon, and which had been almost terminated by his predecessor, Marcus Perperna.
On his return to Rome, he was accused by Publius Lentulus of maladministration in his province, Asia, but was acquitted by bribing the judges.
[1] He obtained a triumph on account of his successes in Asia, but not until 126 BC.
As to the law regarding who was to receive the kingdom (Lex Aquillia) the senators were divisible, Gracchus claimed, into three camps: Those who were in favor of it, those who were against it, and those who were silent.
