If he made money out of political life, so did his Optimate enemies, and The rewards of a consulship, a supplicatio, and a triumph were not ill-deserved.Ī notable feature in his character was his robust and irrepressible good humour: he could joke about his feet and the glands of his neck c he could refuse to allow Clodius to rank above him as the biggest rascal in Rome d he could interrupt his prosecutor Licinius Calvus with a cry of praise: “I ask you, gentlemen, is it right that because this man is eloquent, I should be condemned?” e Convention and political passion can explain much of the evidence on which Vatinius’ reputation as one of the best hated men of his day was based. With the exception of Gabinius and Labienus, Vatinius had the best military record, when in high command, of the tribunes of the late Republic: resource and energy shown, despite infirmity and disabilities, in naval warfare against the Pompeians in the Adriatic successes in Illyria resistance to M. 66, 149, 150, 152.Ĭould write a: “Vatinius would do anything if he could only find out in what way he could assist me” and, some three years later, Vatinius in Illyria, feigning horror and amazement at a seemingly preposterous request made to him by Cicero, yet expressed his willingness to help: “But, though you ask me, my dear Cicero, what can I do?

The personality of Vatinius has received from scholars an assessment which has gained in balance and judgment with the passing of time. His name then disappears from our sources. a he entered Rome as imperator and celebrated his triumph.
