See also:MARCUS See also:LOLLIUS , See also:Roman See also:general, the first See also:governor of See also:Galatia (25 B.C.), See also:consul in 21 . In 16, when governor of See also:Gaul, he was defeated by the Sigambri (Sygambri), Usipetes and Tencteri, See also:German tribes who had crossed the See also:Rhine . This defeat is coupled by See also:Tacitus with the disaster of Varus, but it was disgraceful rather than dangerous . See also:Lollius was subsequently (2 B.C.) attached in the capacity of See also:tutor and adviser to See also:Gaius See also:Caesar (See also:Augustus's See also:grandson) on his See also:mission to the See also:East . He was accused of See also:extortion and treachery to the See also:state, and denounced by Gaius to the See also:emperor . To avoid See also:punishment he is said to have taken See also:poison . According to Vellelus Paterculus and See also:Pliny, he was a hypocrite and cared for nothing but amassing See also:wealth . It was formerly thought that this was the Lollius whom See also:Horace described as a See also:model of integrity and See also:superior to avarice in Od. iv . 9, but it seems hardly likely that this See also:Ode, as well as the two Lollian epistles of Horace (i . 2 and 18), was addressed to him . All three must have been addressed to the same individual, a See also:young See also:man, probably the son of this Lollius . See Suetonius, Augustus, 23, Tiberius, 12; Vell .
