"Lucius Decidius Saxa (died 40 BC) was a Roman general in the 1st century BC.Ronald Syme: Who was Decidius Saxa? In: Journal of Roman studies 27 (1937), p. 127–137 = the same: Roman Papers, vol. 1, Oxford 1979, p. 31–41. He was born in Spain, perhaps of Italian origin.Cicero, Philippica 11.12; 13.27; the Italian origin is a suggestion of Ronald Syme (see references). In 49 BC he fought as a supporter of Julius Caesar in Spain against an army allied with Pompey.Julius Caesar, Commentarii de Bello Gallico 1.66.3 In 44 BC he was tribune of the people and after the assassination of Caesar he was allied to Mark Antony. At the beginning of 43 BC Antony was besieged in Mutina and was supported by Decidius Saxa.Cicero, Philippica 11.12; 13.27. In 42 BC, after the founding of the second Triumvirate, Saxa was, together with Gaius Norbanus Flaccus, appointed by Mark Antony to lead the advance force of eight legions into Thrace before the Battle of Philippi.Cassius Dio, Roman History 47.35-36 Saxa later went on to be appointed governor of Syria by Antony (41 BC) while Norbanus was elected consul in 38 BC, recognizing the great prestige of the victory over the liberatores. He was heavily defeated near Antioch, when Quintus Labienus led a Parthian intervention in Syria in 40 BC. He fled to Cilicia where he was captured and executed by the Parthians.Cassius Dio, Roman History 48.25; Marcus Velleius Paterculus, Roman History 2.78.1 His legions reportedly suffered heavy defeats and several of his aquilae were seized, being returned to Rome first after a brief Roman war against Parthia and negotiations by then Roman emperor Augustus in 20 BC. The eagle standards were returned together with those captured in 53 BC from Marcus Licinius Crassus, a great propaganda victory for Rome. A brother of Decidius Saxa was his Quaestor in Syria in 40 BC and fought with him against the Parthians, but his soldiers deserted to the enemy so that he had to surrender to Quintus Labienus.Cassius Dio, Roman History 48.25.2 Notes 1st-century BC Roman governors of Syria Ancient Roman generals 1st-century BC Romans Year of birth unknown 40 BC deaths People of the Roman–Parthian Wars Prisoners and detainees of the Parthian Empire "
