Antistius
1. Sex. Antistius, tribune of the plebs, B. C. 422. (Liv. 4.42.)
2. L. Antistius, consular tribune, B. C. 379. (Liv. 6.30.)
3. M. Antistius, tribune of the plebs, about B. C. 320. (Liv. 26.33, 9.12.)
4. M. Antistius, was sent in B. C. 218 to the north of Italy to recall C. Flaminius, the consul elect, to Rome. (Liv. 21.63.)
5. Sex. Antistius, was sent in B. C. 208 into Gaul to watch the movements of Hasdrubal. (Liv. 27.36.)
6. P. Antistius, tribune of the plebs, B. C. 88, opposed in his tribuneship C. Caesar Strabo, who was a candidate for the consulship without having been praetor. The speech he made upon this occasion brought him into public notice, and afterwards he frequently had important causes entrusted to him, though he was already advanced in years. Cicero speaks favourably of his eloquence. In consequence of the marriage of his daughter to Pompeius Magnus, he supported the party of Sulla, and was put to death by order of young Marius in B. C. 82. His wife Calpurnia killed herself upon the death of her husband. (Cic. Brut. 63, 90, pro Rosc. Amer. 32; Vell. 2.26; Appian, App. BC 1.88; Liv. Epit. 86; Plut. Pomp. 9; Drumann, Gesch. Roms, i. p. 55.)
7. T. Antistius, quaestor in Macedonia, B. C. 50. When Pompey came into the province in the following year, Antistius had received no successor; and according to Cicero, he did only as much for Pompey as circumstances compelled him. He took no part in the war, and after the battle of Pharsalia went to Bithynia, where he saw Caesar and was pardoned by him. He died at Corcyra on his return, leaving behind him considerable property. (Cic. Fam. 13.29.)
the name of the physician who examined the body of Julius Caesar after his murder, B. C. 44; and who is said by Suetonius (Jul. Caes. 82) to have declared, that out of all his wounds only one was mortal,namely, that which he had received in the breast. [W.A.G]
(Ἀντίστιος), a writer of Greek Epigrams, though, as his name seems to indicate, a Roman by birth. Respecting his life and his age nothing is known, but we possess three of his epigrams in the Greek Anthology. (Jacobs, ad Anthol. Gr. xiii. p. 852.) [L.S]
