Marcus Aemilius Lepidus (119–76 BCE)
Born 119 BCE, died 76 BCE.
Marcus Aemilius Lepidus (c. 121 – 77 BC) was a Roman statesman and general. After the death of Lucius Cornelius Sulla, he joined or instigated a rebellion against the Sullan regime, demanding a consecutive term as consul late in his year and, when refused, marching on Rome. Lepidus' forces were defeated in a battle near the Milvian Bridge and he fled to Sardinia. He was the father of the triumvir Lepidus and of Lucius Aemilius Lepidus Paullus who was consul in 50 BC.
