Flaccus, Valerius
17. L. Valerius Flaccus, a son of No. 15. When Cicero defended his father, Lucius was yet a little boy, and the orator introduced him into the court, for the purpose of exciting the pity of the judges. In the civil war between Caesar and Pompey, Flaccus fought on the side of the latter, and was killed in the battle of Dyrrhachium, B. C. 48. (Cic. pro Flacc. 36, Orat. 38; Caes. Civ. 3.53.)
