The son of a plebeian horse raising family, deeply in love with a young patrician woman. Phillipus had desperately tried to impress Junia's parents, resulting in a large variety of comedic failures. This eventually culminated in his father banning him from trying anymore. And, seeing as in ancient Rome, your father's word was law, Phillipus had to obey. This did not stop him from sulking all over town, eventually finding many sympathetic ears to their cause who did their best to help the young lovers. Through a combination of efforts, they were finally successful and Phillipus was given permission to marry Junia.
