Fufidius

3. FUFIDIUS, a Roman Eques, whom L. Piso, when proconsul of Macedonia, assigned to his creditors at Apollonia. (Cic. in Pison. 35.) According to Cicero, this assignment was the more shameful, because these very Apolloniates had procured by a bribe of 200 talents to Piso remission or delay of their own debts. Cicero (Cic. Att. 11.13.) speaks of co-heirs of Fufidius, and of a Fufidian estate (ib. 14 and 15); and a farm was purchased by one Fufidius for Q. Cicero. (Cic. ad Q.Fr. 3.1.) But in the absence of their praenomina it is impossible to identify these Fufidii.
