Publius Tullius Albinovanus belonged to the party of
Marius in the
first civil war, and was one of the twelve who were declared enemies of the state in
87 BC. He thereupon fled to
Hiempsal II in
Numidia. After the defeat of
Gnaeus Papirius Carbo and
Gaius Norbanus in
81 BC, he obtained the pardon of
Sulla by treacherously putting to death many of the principal officers of Norbanus, whom he had invited to a banquet.
Ariminium in consequence revolted to Sulla, whence the
Pseudo-Asconius speaks of Albinovanus betraying it.
