Marcus Tullius Tiro
Marcus
Tullius Tiro (d. ca.
4 BC) was first a
slave, then a
freedman of
Cicero.The date of Tiro's birth is uncertain. From
Jerome it can be dated to 103 BC, which would make him only a little younger than Cicero. However, he may have been born considerably later than that: Cicero refers to him as a "young man" in 50 BC.It is possible that Tiro was born a slave in Cicero's household in
Arpinum and came with his family to
Rome. However we do not know for sure that he was a verna (homegrown slave). Cicero refers to Tiro frequently in his letters. His duties included taking dictation, deciphering Cicero's handwriting and managing his table, as well his garden and financial affairs. Cicero remarks on how useful he is to him in his work and studies. He was freed in
53 BC and accompanied Cicero to
Cilicia during Cicero's governorship there, although he was frequently separated from his patron due to poor health, and many of Cicero's letters refer with concern to his illnesses.
