Quintus Caecilius Metellus Pius
Meeting up with Quintus Caecilius Metellus Pius and Publius Licinius Crassus (who had eventually obeyed Octavius' plea to return to Rome) at the Alban Hills, he was frustrated when they began to negotiate with Cinna, even going so far as recognizing Cinna as consul. Fearful of this turn of events, and of news that the Senate was also contemplating coming to terms with Cinna, he fell out with Metellus Pius, who had initially refused his soldiers' demands that he take command from Octavius. The army's apparent disloyalty finally convinced Octavius to return to Rome.
