Decimus Laberius (c. 107–43 B.C.)

Laberius, Decimus (la-bē’ri-us). A Roman knight and miscellaneous writer; born about 107 B.C.; died at Puteoli, Jan. 43 B.C. His writings consisted of farces, comic and satirical poems, an epic poem on Cæsar’s Gallic war, and a prose work containing anecdotes, etc. He was compelled by Cæsar to appear on the stage in one of his own farces, thereby forfeiting his knighthood which was later restored to him by the dictator.
