Publius Clodius and his wife, Fulvia, are described as wild and reckless. They are rebellious and think nothing of working against the establishment and doing as they please. Publius' brashness endears him to the Roman citizenry and soldiers, and he makes use of his keen wit to stir up mutiny with his brother-in-law's armies, which costs Lucius his comand. He aligns himself with Caesar because he knows that Caesar is on the way up. Caesar tolerates him because his ability to pass questionable legislation.
