Decimus Junius Silanus (Consul 62 BC)
- Decimus Junius Silanus (Consul 62 BC)
Decimus Junius Silanus was a consul of the Roman Republic. He was possibly the son of Marcus Junius Silanus, the consul in 109 BC. He was the stepfather of Marcus Junius Brutus because he married his mother, Servilia.
Political career
He was aedile in 70 BC, but he lost the election to be a consul of 63. He was successful the following year, and so in consequence of his being "consul designatus" was first asked for his opinion bv Cicero in the debate in the senate on the punishment of the Catilinarian conspirators. At first he spoke in favor of death for the conspirators, but then he spoke in favor of merely imprisoning them until Catiline had been conquered.
He was consul in 62 with Lucius Licinius Murena. They proposed the "lex Licinia Junia", which enacted that a "rogatio", a discussionary meeting, must be promulgated three nundinae, or martket-intervals, before the people voted on it. It also confirmed the lex Caecilia Didia.
