Ligaria gens

The gens Ligaria was a minor family at ancient Rome, best remembered for three brothers who conspired against Caesar, and were afterward proscribed and put to death by the triumvirs. According to Cicero, they were of Sabine origin.

Members
• Publius Ligarius, served against Caesar during the Civil War, but was pardoned after his capture in Hispania in 49 BC, on the condition that he not serve against Caesar again. Disregarding his promise, he returned to arms and was captured by Caesar's forces during the African War in 46; this time he was put to death. His relation to the other Ligarii who opposed Caesar is uncertain. He may have been a fourth brother, but no ancient author so describes him. • Titus Ligarius, brother of Quintus, was appointed quaestor by Caesar, but was proscribed and put to death by the triumvirs after Caesar's murder. • Ligarius, also a brother of Quintus, who perished during the proscriptions of the triumvirs. ==See also==
