Although he lived through troubled times, he did not play a prominent role in them. It was probably the same Marcus Perperna who was judex in the case of Gaius Aculeo,rf|3|Cic_deorat_ii262 and also in that of Quintus Roscius, for whom Cicero pleadedrf|4|Cic_prorosc_1,8. In 54 BC, Marcus Perperna is mentioned as one of the consulars who bore testimony on behalf of Marcus Aemilius Scaurus at his trial.rf|5|ascon_inscaur He lived past all these times reaching the age of ninety-eight when he finally died in 49 BCE. He outlived all the senators who belonged to that body in his consulship, and at the time of his death there were only seven persons surviving, whom he had enrolled in the senate during his censorship.rf|6|plin_nh_vii48
