The son of Gnaeus Servilius Caepio (consul 169 BC), Gnaeus Servilius Caepio, he served as consul in 140 BC alongside Gaius Laelius Sapiens. He was the father of Quintus Servilius Caepio (consul 106 BC). After his consulship, Caepio was assigned to a Proconsul, proconsulship in Hispania Ulterior after the defeat of Quintus Fabius Maximus Servilianus at the hands of the Lusitanian chieftain Viriathus and the ratification of a treaty favourable to the latter. At the start of Caepio's tenure, he "pestered the senate with constant missives, urgently requesting permission to resume the war with Viriathus and disparaging Servilianus' dishonourable treaty". After getting permission to resume the war and with substantially more resources than Viriathus (who was running out of men), the chieftain opened negotiations, which were for naught: Caepio successfully bribed Viriathus' followers to assassinate him.

Quintus Servilius Caepio (consul 106 BC)
Quintus Servilius Caepio was a Roman statesman and general, consul in 106 BC, and proconsul of Cisalpine Gaul in 105 BC. He was the father of Quintus Servilius Caepio and the grandfather of Servilia. Consulship and Arausio During his consulship in 106 BC, he passed a controversial law, with the help of the famous orator Lucius Licinius Crassus, by which the jurymen were again to be chosen from the senators instead of the equites. However, it appears this law was overturned by a law of Gaius Servilius Glaucia in either 104 or 101 BC. After his consulship, he was assigned to Gaul, where he captured the town of Tolosa, ancient Toulouse. There, he found some 50 thousand bars of gold and 10 thousand bars of silver which were legendarily stolen from the temple of Delphi by the Scordisci in the Gallic invasion of the Balkans in 279 BC. The riches of Tolosa were shipped back to Rome, but only the silver arrived; the gold was stolen by a band of marauders, rumoured to have been hired ...

Quintus Servilius Caepio (quaestor 103 BC)
Quintus Servilius Caepio was a Roman patrician, statesman and soldier. He was the son of Quintus Servilius Caepio who was consul in 106 BCE and who lost his army during the Battle of Arausio (Caepio the Younger served under his father at Arausio). He was elected praetor some time in the last 90s BC and fought for Rome during the Social War. He was killed in the second year of the war while fighting the Marsi by Quintus Poppaedius Silo. Biography Early life Caepio was the son of Quintus Servilius Caepio. His mother was likely a daughter of Quintus Caecilius Metellus Macedonicus. He had at least two sisters, Servilia the wife of Marcus Livius Drusus is known, and the Servilia who married Quintus Lutatius Catulus might be another, but it is also possible that this woman was actually his aunt. Career Caepio served as quaestor in 103 or possibly 100. Previously his father had been tried before the people by the tribune Gaius Norbanus for his catastrophic loss at the Battle of Ar ...

Quintus Servilius Caepio (adoptive Father Of Brutus)
Quintus Servilius Caepio ( 68–58 BC) was a Roman aristocrat, and the adoptive father of Brutus, the assassin of Julius Caesar. Biography Geiger conjectured that Caepio was a son of Quintus Servilius Caepio, from an unknown wife before Livia. This would make the younger Caepio an elder half-brother of Servilia the mother of Brutus, and a different man from Cato the Younger's half brother Servilius Caepio. Marshall found Geiger's argument compelling, as did Strachan, but Treggiari was skeptical. According to a tentative reconstruction of his life, Caepio may have held the quaestorship by about 69 BC, which would have given him senatorial rank. He then served as a deputy (''legatus'') to the general Pompey in the campaign against the Cilician pirates and then in the Mithridatic War. By 59 BC, he had adopted his relative Brutus. In 58 BC, he appears for the last time in history as a creditor of Quintus Tullius Cicero, and probably died not long after. He is believed to have bee ...
