The lex Aufidia concerned bribery in Roman assemblies: if a candidate, promised and paid money to a tribe at the comitia, he should pay yearly 3,000 sesterces during his life.
Lurco in 59 BC, was one of the defence witnesses at the trial of Lucius Valerius Flaccus.
Lurco was the first person in Rome to fatten peacocks (see peafowl) for sale and from this he became wealthy.
It was in the past believed that he was the father of a daughter named Aufidia who became the mother of empress Livia Drusilla.
But this is no longer accepted, as inscription shows that Livia's mother's name was Alfidia.
