Titus Annius Papinianns Milo, a Roman tribune and demagogue, born at Lanuvium in the early part of the 1st century B. C. In 57 he rilled the office of plebeian tribune. At that period Clodius, at the head of a band of desperadoes, controlled the destinies of Rome, burning temples, attacking the houses of private citizens, shedding the blood of freemen in the streets, dispersing the comitia by violence, and trampling under foot all laws. Milo, who was little better than Clodius, but desirous of retrieving his ruined fortunes by an alliance with the aristocrats, temporarily restored order, after which Cicero was recalled from exile. Clodius, who had been the author of Cicero's banishment, assailed his person and property, and would have sacrificed him had not Milo come to his aid. The followers of Milo and Clodius fought daily in the streets. The rival chiefs and their retainers met at Bovilke, on the Appian way, in January, 52, and in the fray Clodius was slain. Milo was brought to trial, and Cicero, his advocate, was so intimidated that he did not venture to deliver the oration he had prepared; his client was convicted and went into exile to Massilia, where ho remained till 48, when he returned to aid Marcus Camus in resuscitating the republican party, but was defeated and slain in Lucania.
