Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Manius Aquillius (died 88 BC), member of the ancient Roman gens Aquillia, was consul in 101 BC. Probably a son of Manius Aquillius consul in 129 BC, he was a loyal follower of Gaius Marius. During the election campaign for Marius' fourth consulship, Aquillius was left in command of the army in case the migrating Cimbri attacked before Marius could return to command the army himself. As a reward for his loyal services, Gaius Marius ran with Aquillius under a joint ticket for the consulship of 101 BC. After the consulship, with Rome struggling with famine caused by the slave revolt on Sicily, Aquillius was sent to put it down. Aquilius completely subdued Salvius and his insurgents, and got a triumph in Rome in 100 BC[1]. In 98 BC, Aquillius was accused by Lucius Fufius of maladministration in Sicily. In the trial he was defended by Marcus Antonius Orator, and, even if there were strong proofs of his guilt, he was acquitted because of his bravery in the war. In 88 BC he went into Asia as one of the consular legates to prosecute the war against Mithridates VI of Pontus and his allies.
