The censorship of Perperna is mentioned by Cicero,[1] and Cornelius Nepos speaks of him as censorius.
[2] Although he lived through troubled times, he did not play a prominent role in them.
It was probably the same Marcus Perperna who was judex in the case of Gaius Aculeo,[3] and also in that of Quintus Roscius, for whom Cicero pleaded.
[5] He lived past all these times reaching the age of ninety-eight when he finally died in 49 BC.
