He was pardoned by Caesar at the behest of Cicero after the Battle of Philippi, but after Caesar's murder he was executed in the proscriptions by the triumvirs Antony, Octavian and Lepidus in 43 BCE.

These proscriptions were done to raise funds to finance the ongoing war against his assassins - Cassius, Brutus, Casca etc - the triumvirs each nominated wealthy Romans to be killed so that their estates could be used to finance the war.

Three relatives with the name Ligarius were killed in these proscriptions - one of them the co-assassin of Caesar in the Shakespearean play.
