Ahenobarbus fell in Africa in 82 B.C.: though some versions exculpate Pompeius, there is a contrary tradition. […] He held a command in Africa against Marian remnants and triumphed, though not a senator, adding ‘Magnus’ to his name. […] Whatever their class in society, men went with a leader or a friend, though the cause were indifferent or even distasteful. […] Also the Calpurnii (Schulze, LE, 138), though they faked a descent from the Sabine Numa (Plutarch, Numa 21). […] Antonius imitated his leader which came easy to his open nature: Octavianus also, though less easily perhaps.
