Along with Octavian they defeated the forces of Mark Antony at Mutina but both consuls lost their lives. Hirtius was a personal friend of Cicero and had served as Caesar’s legate in Gaul. As Sear in The History and Coinage of the Roman Imperators 49-27 BC has noted he was “a man of wide-ranging talents… renowned as a connoisseur of fine food and wine.
