Aulus Postumius Albinus (consul 99 BC)


Aulus Postumius Albinus was a politician of the Roman Republic, and consul in 99 BC with Marcus Antonius. Aulus Gellius quotes the words of a senatus consultum passed in their consulship in consequence of the spears of Mars having moved. Cicero mentions him as being a good orator.
He was the grandson of Spurius Postumius Albinus Magnus, and probably son of Aulus Postumius Albinus. He is probably the same man as the Aulus Postumius Albinus who was killed by his own men during the siege of Pompeii. He was also the adoptive father of Decimus Junius Brutus Albinus, one of Julius Caesar's assassins.
