Publius Claudius Pulcher
Who is Publius Claudius Pulcher?
Publius Claudius Pulcher was a son and homonymous of Publius Clodius Pulcher.
He turned out badly: a lethargic nonentity who only rose to the Praetorship after 31 BC under the Second Triumvirs and died amid scandals of luxurious excess and an obsessive attachment to a common prostitute. An inscription of ownership on an expensive Egyptian alabaster vase once owned by the son has survived to attest the latter's short official career, and includes an unusual triple filiation which confirms the literary evidence to the effect that Clodius' own filiation was: Ap. f. Ap. n..
He married an unknown woman and had a son Appius Claudius Pulcher.
