Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Decimus Junius Silanus was a consul of the Roman Republic. He was possibly the son of Marcus Junius Silanus, the consul in 109 BC. He was the stepfather of Marcus Junius Brutus because he married his mother, Servilia. He was aedile in 70 BC, but he lost the election to be a consul of 63. He was successful the following year, and so in consequence of his being consul designatus was first asked for his opinion by Cicero in the debate in the senate on the punishment of the Catilinarian conspirators. At first he spoke in favor of "the supreme penalty" for the conspirators, but when Julius Caesar suggested life imprisonment, Silanus insisted that that was what he had really meant. As such, it was left to Cato the Younger to force through the decision to actually execute them.
