Historical background


HOSTILIA

(48 BC)

Lucius Hostilius Saserna is from Cremona in Cisalpine Gaul. He owes his career to Julius Caesar, whom he followed throughout the Gallic Wars (58-50 BC). In the fratricidal struggle between Caesarians and Pompeians, he remains faithful to Caesar and participates in the siege of Marseilles. He served in Africa and is mentioned by Cicero as a friend of Antony and Octave.
