s tribunate of the plebs (B. C. 55) he was the instrument of the triumvirs in proposing that Pompey should have the two Spains, Crassus Syria, and Caesar the Gauls and Illyricum for another period of five years. This proposal received the approbation of the comitia, and is known by the name of the Lex Trebonia. (D. C. 39.33; Cic. Att. 4.8. b. § 2.)

In the course of the same year he was intrusted by Caesar with the command of the land forces engaged in the siege of Massilia. (Caes. Gal. 5.24, 6.40, B. C. 1.36, 2.1; D. C. 41.19; Cic. Att. 8.3.7.) In B. C. 48 Trebonius was city-praetor, and in the discharge of his duties resisted the seditions attempts of his colleague M. Caelius Rufus to obtain by force the repeal of Caesar's law respecting the payment of debts. The history of these events is related elsewhere. [Vol. III. p. 672. b.] (

Cassius Longinus in the government of Further Spain, but was expelled from the province by a mutiny of the soldiers who espoused the Pompeian party. Notwithstanding this want of success, he still continued to enjoy the favour and confidence of Caesar, who raised him to the consulship in the month of October, B. C. 45, and promised him the province of Asia. (D. C. 43.29, 46.) In return for all these honours and favours, Trebonius was one of the prime m

Trebo'nius 11. C. Trebonius, played rather a prominent part in the last days of the republic. He commenced public life as a supporter of the aristocratical party, and in his quaestorship (B. C. 60) he attempted to prevent the adoption of P. Clodius into a plebeian family, contrary to the wish of the triumvirs. (Cic. Fam. 15.21.) He changed sides, however, soon afterwards, and in his tribunate of the plebs (B. C. 55) he was the instrument of the triumvirs in proposing that Pompey should have the two Spains, Crassus Syria, and Caesar the Gauls and Illyricum for another period of five years.

It had been assigned to Trebonius to keep Antonius engaged in conversation outside the senate-house while the other conspirators perpetrated the foul deed. Trebonius did not remain long at Rome after the murder of Caesar, but went as proconsul to the province of Asia. In the following year (B. C. 43) he sent a supply of money to M. Brutus in Macedonia, and to C. Cassius who was attempting to obtain possession of Syria. In the course of the same year, Dolabella, who had received from Antonius the province of Syria, appeared before Smyrna. where Trebonius was then residing, surprised the town in the night time, and slew Trebonius in his bed.
