      first stroke at his assassination, <date when-custom="-44">B. C. 44</date>. He was in that year
      tribune of the plebs, and soon afterwards fled from Rome, as he anticipated the revenge which
      Octavianus was going to take. His leaving Rome as tribune was against the constitution, and
      his colleague, P. Titius, accordingly carried a decree in the assembly of the people, by which
      he was deprived of his tribuneship. He fought in the battle of Philippi, and died shortly
      afterwards. (Appian <bibl n="App. BC 2.16.113">App. BC 2.113</bibl>, <bibl n="App. BC 2.16.115">115</bibl>, <bibl n="App. BC 2.16.117">117</bibl>; <bibl n="D. C. 44.52">D. C. 44.52</bibl>, <bibl n="D. C. 46.49">46.49</bibl> ; Cic. <hi rend="ital">Philipp.</hi>
