Fufius
3. L. Fufius, a Roman orator, who was an elder contemporary of Cicero. About B. C. 98 he accused M'. Aquillius of extortion, which he had committed in his consulship in Sicily B. C. 101. On that occasion L. Fufius evinced great zeal and industry; but the accused, who was defended by M. Antonius, was acquitted. The oratory of Fufius seems to have been of a very vehement and passionate character, and the man himself of a very quarrelsome nature; and this he retained even in his advanced age, when he had nearly lost his voice. (Cic. de Orat. 1.39, 2.22, 3.13; de Off. 2.14; Brut. 62.)
