Manius Acilius Glabrio (consul 67 BC)

Manius Acilius Glabrio was a Roman politician and military commander of the plebeian family of Acilier. His father was the tribune of the same name, his maternal grandfather was the famous lawyer Publius Mucius Scaevola.

He was with Sulla's stepdaughter Aemilia, the daughter of Marcus Aemilius Scaurus, married. 82 BC he angered his father by criticizing his policies. Consequently, this forced the divorce, although Aemilia was pregnant. She died a short time later as the wife of Pompey at the birth of Manius Acilius Glabrios son.

Maybe Glabrio was 78 BC tribune. As he was praetor in 70 BC, before the quaestio de repetundis and thus the trial of Gaius Verres. As consul of 67 BC Glabrio brought together with his colleague Gaius Calpurnius Piso, a strict law against illegal electioneering by the Lex Calpurnia Acilia. The following year he replaced Lucullus as proconsul of Cilicia and as commander in chief in the war against Mithridates VI. However, since he himself was completely inactive and unable to control the soldiers, he was in the same year - replaced by Pompey - after Lex Manilia.

Probably Glabrio was 64 BC Lucius Aurelius Cotta censor along with. 63 BC he voted in the Senate hearing on the co-conspirators of Lucius Sergius Catilina for the death penalty.

At an unknown time before 57 BC Glabrio received the religious office of pontifex.
