Gaius Calvisius Sabinus was a consul of the Roman Republic in 39 BC under the Second Triumvirate. He and his consular colleague Lucius Marcius Censorinus had been the only two senators who tried to defend Julius Caesar when his assassins struck on 15 March 44 BC,[1] and their consulship under the triumvirate is taken as a recognition of their loyalty.[2] An inscription, described by Ronald Syme as "one of the most remarkable inscriptions ever set up in honour of a Roman senator," praises Calvisius for pietas, his sense of duty or devotion.[3] As a military officer, Calvisius is notable for his long service and competence, though he was not without serious defeats.[4]
