Quintus Tullius Cicero was a Roman politician and military commander born in 102 BC. He was the younger brother of the famous orator and statesman Marcus Tullius Cicero.
Born into an equestrian family in Arpinum, Quintus came from a wealthy background.
He is best known for writing a letter to his brother Marcus, providing advice on how to win an election for consul.
This letter, later published as "How to Win an Election," offers insights into Roman political tactics and campaign strategies.
Quintus served as a legate under Julius Caesar in Gaul and Britain.
He died in 43 BC, likely executed alongside his more famous brother during the political upheavals following Caesar's assassination.
