Publius Clodius Pulcher
Born c. 92 BC, Trebonius' father was an "eques", but had not been a magistrate, and the son was considered a "novus homo" ("new man"), one of several in Caesar's circle. He served as quaestor around 60 BC, during which he attempted to prevent the adoption of Publius Clodius Pulcher into a plebeian family, against the wishes of the triumvirs. However, by the time Trebonius was elected plebeian tribune in 55 BC, he had become one of their supporters.
