The Consul Manlius Aquillius was in charge of taming the Servile War in Sicily (104-100 BC), caused by the slave revolt led by the Cilician Athenion: having completely subdued the insurgents, he returned to Rome in 100 BC, celebrating a triumph. Was captured and brutally murdered (by pouring molten gold into his mouth) during his campaign against Mithridates VI of Pontus.
