Glaucia, Gaius Servilius, Roman politician. As tribune (101 BC) and praetor (100) he co-operated with Marius and Saturninus, and passed a law restoring the repetundae court to the equites. He hoped to be consul for 99 BC but his candidature was disallowed. He fled with Saturninus, but the senate had them arrested and they died in prison.
Gaius Servilius Glaucia (d. 99 BC) was a Roman politician who served as tribune of the Plebs in 101 BC and praetor in 100 BC. He arranged for the murder of an elected tribune (Gaius Memmius) to clear the way for Lucius Appuleius Saturninus to gain election to the post. While attempting to stand for consul in 99 BC, he was engaged in an exchange between himself and a fellow senator who attempted to prevent his candidature on the grounds that he had not waited the mandatory two years between election as praetor and election to the consulship. In a fit of rage he killed the man and fled to the home of one his supporters, where he committed suicide.
