EspañolLUCIUS PINARIUS
'Lucius Pinarius Scarpus' was the grand-nephew of Roman dictator Julius Caesar, being the grandson of Julia, Caesar's eldest sister.
According to Suetonius, in Caesar's will he received one-eighth of certain legacies after the legacies given to his cousin Octavian (future emperor Augustus). In the Civil war between Antony and Octavian that followed, Pinarius later became a supporter of Mark Antony and went against his cousin Octavian. In Cyrenaica, under Antony, he commanded four legions. After Octavian's victory in the naval battle of Actium, Pinarius refused to receive Antony and threw his support (and his legions) to Octavian. As Octavian marched through Asia, Syria and Judea to establish his authority, Pinarius moved east towards Egypt to trap Antony between a two-pronged attack. Due to his perfidious nature, he was kept out of public office.
