Why Did Cicero Betroth Tullia to Furius Crassipes?
ABSTRACT:This article re-examines why Cicero betrothed his daughter Tullia to Furius Crassipes in April of 56 bce. Previous scholarship emphasized social and personal factors in Cicero's decision, but I highlight his political considerations. After returning from exile, Cicero endeavored to handle political affairs with caution and to have good relations with the optimates, Pompey, and Caesar (or at least to offend none of them blatantly). Thus he chose Crassipes, a young man who (insofar as the extant evidence suggests) was born into a family neither politically prominent nor active, to help himself maintain neutrality.
