Quintus Servilius Caepio (son of Q. S. Caepio the Younger)

Quintus Servilius Caepio (c. 97 BC, † 67 BC in Ainos ) was a Roman politician of the late Republic and adoptive father of Marcus Junius Brutus, who later became Caesar's murderers.

He was a son of Quintus Servilius Caepio who fell in the Social War, 90 BC, and Livia. He had a sister Servilia Caepionis, the mother of Brutus, and Cato the younger half-siblings and Porcia.

Caepio took 72 BC under the consul Lucius Gellius Publicola on Spartacuskrieg as military tribune in part .. Probably, even if not fully secured, is that he was quaestor under Pompey, when he BC on the way to Asia Minor in 67 Ainos in Thrace died. Cato, who had hurried to his half-brother, but not finding him alive, let erect a monument in the Agora of Ainos for Caepio.

He had his nephew Marcus Junius Brutus adopted, which then took the name of his adoptive father and eventually inherited his fortune.
